RSUBEBE Boss Gets National Merit Award

The Executive Chairman of the Rivers Universal Basic Education Board (RSUBEB) Ven. Fyneface Akah, has been honoured with a National Merit Award by Civil Society Action Coalition on Education for All (CSACEFA).
Presenting the award, Monday, when the group paid an advocacy/award visit to the Board, the State Secretary of CSACEFA, Ambassador Arinze Akupue, said the award was given to the Chairman “for his outstanding contributions to the educational sector in Nigeria”.
Represented by Mr. Bright Tamunoala, Arinze described the RSUBEB Chairman as the best performing Chairman in Nigeria, saying that Rivers people are happy with his overwhelming performance since he came on board and wished him well in all his endeavours.
Responding, Akah thanked God for the award and attributed every achievement the Board has recorded to the unwaivering support of the Governor of Rivers State, Chief Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, noting that the steady accessment of the counterpart funds by the Governor was responsible for development of basic education in the state.
He, therefore, called for prayers for the Governor and the Board, stressing that the government of Nyesom Wike has no doubt taken basic education in the state to an enviable height and promised that the Board would continue to deliver on its mandate of developing basic education in both the rural and the urban areas.
