RSG Moves To Upgrade Facilities At Nigerian Law School, Yenagoa …To Construct Two New Hostels, Build 1,500-Capacity Multi-Purpose Hall

The Rivers State Government is to construct two new hostels that would accommodate 900 students each at the Nigerian Law School, Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.
The state government is also to build a 1, 500-capacity multi-purpose hall at the school.
The state Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike announced this at the weekend, when he visited the school in company of the Director General of the Nigerian Law School, Prof Isa Hayatu Chiroma.
He said the gesture was part of the state government’s contribution to the development of legal education in the country.
“Rivers State also belongs to the South-South, so, we think that we should make our own contribution.
“Accordingly, our state will construct two new hostels to accommodate 900 students each and also build a multipurpose hall that will accommodate 1,500 students.
“Ordinarily, this school was supposed to be located in Port Harcourt, but the former administration rejected the offer made to them.
“You know also that Bayelsa State was created out of Rivers State. Hence, we are still the same and whatever I can do in Rivers State, I can also do in Bayelsa State,” he stated.
Wike noted that despite the economic challenges faced by the state, it would source funds from its scarce resources to execute the project.
He said the present economic challenges would not stop his administration from solving problems.
“This project will be executed immediately because we do not make promises without fulfilling them.
“I have directed the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice to write to the Director General to forward the design, so, we can commence work immediately,” he added.
Responding, the Director General of the Nigerian Law School, Prof Isa Hayatu Chiroma, expressed gratitude to the governor and the Rivers State Government for the support, saying that the school would ever remain grateful.
