Coordinator Scores Rivers SUBEB High

The National Coordinator of Mr. President’s Inter-schools Debate, Elder Dare Oritu has scored Rivers State Universal   Basic Education Board (SUBEB) high among his peers due to its contributions towards educational development in the State.

Elder Oritu, who particularly lauded the Rivers SUBEB chairman, Sir Alli Oruitemeka, said he has performed exceedingly well among his colleagues in the South-South-Zone.

Presenting an award to the Rivers SUBEB Chairman in Port Harcourt recently, the National Coordinator said Sir Orutemeka was found worthy for the award as a result of his hard work in improving the education system in the State.

Elder Oritu scored the state SUBEB  high among his peers especially in the area of structures put in place, saying that no other state in the country came close  to Rivers State.

He also noted that the quality of teachers in Rivers State are better than those in other states with a concomitant improvement in students performance.

While giving kudos to the inspectorate department of the State SUBEB for jobs well done, he said the department’s activities  have also helped the teachers to be upright in their duties, a factor that was also not seen in other states.

In his response, Sir Oruitemeka expressed his gratitude for the award  saying that, “it is indeed an honour to be adjudged the most innovative SUBEB chairman in the South-South, Certified  by the Federal Ministry of Education” and thanked the Rivers State, Governor, Rt Hon. Chibuike Amaechi for providing  enabling environment for winning the award.
