The former General Manager of Rivers State Newspaper Corporation, (RSNC), Mr Celestine Ogolo yesterday presented a book titled, “Opobo Kingdom, 150Years After” to the management of RSNC at the corporation’s boardroom in Port Harcourt.
Speaking during the presentation, Mr Ogolo explained that the book contains the history of the past, present and the future of the leadership of Opobo Kingdom in Rivers State.
He stressed that the book is about governance, local government administration and communities development for the way forward of Opobo Kingdom.
“The book is historical as it is about when Opobo Kingdom was founded 150 years back.
According to him, writing the book was his own way of contributing his quota to the development of Opobo Kingdom, noting that the book came at a time when Opobo Kingdom was celebrating its 150 years.
He appealed to the RSNC management to add the book to its library stock, adding that readers can get useful information from the book.
He thanked the RSNC management for giving him the privilege to present the book, stressing that The Tide Newspaper was the best newspaper in the South-South geo-political zone.
In his response, the General Manager of RSNC, Chief Ernest Chinwo commended Mr Celestine Ogolo for keeping record of the Opobo Kingdom.
He said the crisis of identity which has bedeviled the society today is necessitated by the fact that most communities do not have proper records of their origin, saying that Mr Ogolo has played his part by keeping the record of his people.
He called on the academics to do more work so that people should know where they are coming from and where they are going.
“I want to believe that, this will encourage scholar to do more work in their various communities and urged schools and tertiary institution to have copies of the book” he stated.
He assured the author of the book that RSNC will not fail to add the book in its library.

Rivers Judiciary Denies Issuing Court Order Stopping SOLAD from Swearing in RSCSC Members
The Rivers State Judiciary has denied a media report claiming that Justice Frank Onyiri of the State High Court issued an injunction order restraining the Sole Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd), from inaugurating the newly appointed members of the Rivers State Civil Service Commission (RSCSC).
In a statement issued by the Deputy Chief Registrar in charge of litigation at the High Court, Menenen Poromon (Esq), the state Judiciary disassociated itself from the report, describing it as malicious and fabricated.
The statement emphasized that the report was a falsehood and a misrepresentation of what transpeared in the court.
Poromon clarified that no such order was issued by Justice Onyiri or any other judge of the High Court of the state and urged the public to disregard the information, as it lacked any iota of truth.
The statement however advised the public to verify any information concerning the state Judiciary directly from the office of the Chief Registrar, High Court of the State, to avoid spreading of misinformation.
