Monarch Tasks Schools Operators On Cultural Curriculum

As schools in Rivers State he third them academic session, operators of both private and government owned schools have been charged to use their institutions of learning to transmit the gains and importance of culture and tradition to the young generation.
His Royal Majesty, King C Leslie N. Eke, Eze Egbakagbaka, gave the charge at the week end in an exclusive chat at his palace in Woji Obio/Akpor Local Government Area.
He said such would aid to eliminate the wrong views of culture and tradition that have been sold to this present generation.
The Nyerisi Eli Woji xii Eze Oha Evo III, reasoned that schools have the capacity to re-engineer the system due to its closeness and importance to the society.
According to him, such would command great understanding and reduce incessant desecration and batering custom and tradition of the people.
He explained that the batering and lack of adequate attention given to cultural development was part of the reasons why most communities are in chieftaincy tussle in the state today.
The Eze Oha Evo III, maintained that if schools could gear up and teach customs and tradition the way it ought to be, many communities in the state would be at peace.
He regretted that some authorised institutions have failed to do the needful in order to satisfy what he described as cheap gains.
