“ Today, we are very happy that the Rivers State Governor, Chief NyesomEzenwoWike has transformed the school. We thank him for this wonderful work he has done and pray God to bless him more.”
West who led members of the association round the school to see the massive work done by Governor Wike’s administration noted that maintenance culture is a major problem in our society.

He said the association deemed it necessary to support students of their Alma mater who were preparing for the West African School Certificate Examinations and the teachers by donating face masks for their safety in view of the COVID-19 pandemic and at same time see for themselves, the wonderful work done by the Rivers State Government in the school.
The Principal (Senior Secondary) of the school, Elder Digi Umoroduah, thanked Governor Wike for the massive renovation work in the school and also the old students for providing safety materials to the students and teachers.
