The Chairman of the 2020 Inter-House Sports Competition of Community Secondary School, Rumuopara, Obio/Akpor Local Government Area, Israel Woko has advised Rivers State students to shun cultism, avoid anything that will jeopardise their future and rather embrace sports for a better living.
Woko, who is also the Chairman of Parents Teachers Association (PTA) of the school, gave the advice in his opening address, during the Inter House sports competition for Junior and Senior schools joint competition last Wednesday.
He commended the management of the school, as they organised one of the best joint Inter House sports Competitions, in the state.
“Students please avoid anything thing that will jeopardise your future. Read your books to become good people in the society.
I commend the school authority for organising a successful joint inter house sports competition”, Woko said.
Also speaking, the principal of the school, Dr. Nworgu Napoleon, urged students to reciprocate the good gesture of the state government led by Chief Nyesom Wike as he paid all examinations fees for senior secondary students in the state.
According to him, the only way to reciprocate the gesture is to show commitment on their studies, saying that governor’s huge investment in education sector has placed the state among the best in the country in terms of educational development.
“I commend the governor for the free education for both primary and secondary schools in the state.
I condemned the attitude of some students who are not interested in learning, but engaged themselves in negative activities, that causes bad influence to other students” Napoleon said.
At the end of sports meet, Yellow House emerged winners, while White and Green Houses came second and third respectively.
