...To release approved grants to the university
...Assures of improved education to support development

Governor of Rivers State, Sir Siminalayi Fubara has promised to provide necessary financial and other levels of support that will strengthen the capacity of the Rivers State University (RSU) to rank as one of the best in Nigeria.

Sir Fubara made the promise at the 35th convocation ceremony of the Rivers State University that took place at the Convocation Arena of the institution in Nkpolu-Oroworukwo, Port Harcourt on Saturday.

The governor said the promised support is borne out of the fact that education serves as the cornerstone for a firm, equitable and progressive society that is desired by Rivers State.

"Bear in mind that funding is a problem, not just to this university system but also to governance. But as you all know, education is the cornerstone of a firm, equitable and progressive society.

"Therefore, we will continue to do our best to finance our university. Our commitment to make RSU one of the best in this country is a target and a process we have just started today."

Governor Fubara noted with delight the result-oriented approach adopted by the leadership of RSU to achieving the record of successes being celebrated including securing full accreditation for all programmes in the institution despite the challenges.

"Let me commend the VC for his innovation, and result-oriented approach to the administration of this university. Let me promise this university community that the grant approved but not released will be released by Monday, 18th Dec. 2023.

"The essence of our commitment to education development is reflected in our 2024 budget where it received the third highest allocation.

"Let me, therefore, assure you that we will disburse a fair share of these resources to address the University's most critical challenges, including support for the full and effective development of the new campuses, the provision of a stable power supply, the building of student hostels, and effective CCTV coverage to enhance safety and security in the campuses."

Giving his address, Vice Chancellor of the Rivers State University, Prof Nlerum Okogbule said a total of 6,326 graduates were conferred with first degrees, postgraduate diplomas, Masters and Doctor of Philosophy.

Prof. Okogbule informed that all 24 programmes in the university have full accreditation, the admission quota for the medicine and surgery programmes increased from 100 to 200 students; that of nursing and midwifery also increased from 50 to 100 and that all of the university’s four satellite campuses are in full operation.

In his remark, the Chancellor of the University, Justice Sidi Bage Muhammad 1, who is also the Emir of Lafia Bare-Bari and Chairman of Nassarawa State Council of Chiefs, demanded adequate funding of tertiary institutions so as to strengthen them to undertake research that addresses the developmental needs of Nigeria.

Scam!

The precedence of his administration already shows he is going to be a woeful failure!

How can someone who doesn't value the historical house of assembly, claim to value education?

A governor that initiated his administration by hiring bands to diss his political opponents!

Gibberish!

Spotting a failure has never been so easy!

Fubara don hire Media people full time. Wike will really be dealt with in the media. Fubara using state money anyhow

The problem with Wike will surely favour the good people of Rivers State. Fubara has no other option but to work for the people. That in turn will endear him to the people who in turn will surely fight for his second term. Leader's misunderstanding with godfathers is always a blessing to the people.

you understand the game well. It’s a blessing in disguise to the good people of rivers State.

Governor Fubara will do great things in all the sector in Rivers including workers and pensioners welfare in the State. Education and health sector will be fully funded and road construction projects will be heavily funded too. Fubara is working, kudos to him and his team.
