“Rt Hon. Chibuike Amaechi, since assumption of office as governor of the state transformed the sector by awarding scholarship to deserving Rivers students of which you all are beneficiaries”, she emphasised.
The commissioner also charged the graduands to contribute their quota in the development of the state adding that as graduates they are now experts in their various fields of study.
