Wike Concludes Plan To Withdraw Rivers Students On Foreign Scholarship by drshrewd: 5:43pm On Dec 04, 2015
The Rivers State government says it can no longer continue to fund the Rivers State Sustainable Development Agency, RSSDA, overseas scholarship. State Commissioner of Agric, Ominim Jack gave the indication while addressing parents of the beneficiaries of the overseas scholarship in Port Harcourt. Ominim Jack, who now doubles as the acting Executive Director of RSSDA said the state government could no longer sustain the scholarship scheme as a result of the current economic situation in the country. She, however, proposed that the state government intends to transfer the students back to Nigeria and sustain the full scholarship of the returned students at either the University of Port Harcourt or the Rivers State University of Science and Technology.

The state government further said it will only fund students who were on their final year. “I want to first of all let you know that the Governor, Nyesom Wike takes the education of our students very seriously. Today, we have to be realistic. We all know what is happening in Nigeria. We now have a dwindling revenue both from FAC and IGR. We all know our exchange rates.
“We are here to give a proposal to let you know that the state is committed to pay installmentally for all our final year students totalling almost 200. “We are putting arrangements in place for students who are not in their final year to get transfer back to schools in Nigeria, especially in Rivers state with full scholarships,” she said.

The plan of the state government was greeted with grumblings, with the parents appealing to Governor Nyesom Wike to consider other means to sustain the overseas scholarship programme. Some of the Parents told DAILY POST that the decision of the Rivers state government was backward. “My child is studying in Canada. But how can somebody who is in her 3rd shocked year now return to Nigeria just like that? The curriculum can never be the same. We do not agree with the proposal of governor Wike.”

Another parent said, “For almost one year now, the state government has stopped paying the students their allowance. And we have been taking responsibility for that. We won’t mind to continue but the government should just pay the school fees. It is a very bad decision to withdraw all the students and place them in schools in Port Harcourt. The Governor should not do that.”

Meanwhile, some students who recently returned from the United Kingdom as a result of the failure of the state government to pay their school fees told DAILY POST that they were traumatised by the recent development.

YOU don't have money to pay the kids school fees but you have borrowed over N40b+FG allocation+IGR sad
No policy direction, no government blue print, no developmental project angry all we see is poorly constructed china-patched-Roads with open gutter drainages____the level we've gone passed since Odili's era

Withdrawing even students that are in their 300 level to say the least is the highest height of irresponsibility and wickedness

Rivers People hope u are happy with the clown ruling over you.

My friend's younger brother is also involved.
This my Friend and his Mum hate Amaechi with a passion despite the fact it was Amaechi that sent her son abroad on merit.

Their hatred was borne solely because he wasn't supporting GEJ (My friend is from Kalabari). He even blocked me on Facebook after we had a heated argument.

He was always of the belief that once Wike becomes Governor milk and honey will follow on the streets of Port Harcourt.

Some days ago he came to my office for me to help sell his mother's landed property.

Shocked I asked him why?

He told me they needed the money to pay for his younger ones school fees in Canada.

I tried to persuade him not to sell that the State Government will come around later; that was when he informed me that they just finished a meeting with the Commissioner for Agriculture (note not Education) who told them point-blank that they should bring their children home.

I felt sorry for him coz after all the insults he dished out on social media and shouting GEJ till 2019 while Dasuki, Dokpesi and Co were collectimg Billions of Naira he ended up losing friends and got nothing in return.

RSSDA has been sending Rivers People overseas since 2008, so Wike has no excuse not to clear the bad log if he met any because on viewpoint WikeD claimed he spent N800m from the Billions he borrowed to pay for their tuition fees for those students.

Question:
After spending N800m on their tuition fees why are u now telling them to come home.

Thief Barr Nyesom WikeD is nothing but a common criminal.
He will soon got to jail after the probe on TETFund is concluded.

[b]you needn't waste your time responding to that dude that lack simple comprehension. this is the quot he was referring to in the article
Another parent said, “For almost one year now, the state government has stopped paying the students their allowance.
here the parents is saying for almost one year which may mean 10, 11, or 12 months. wike has spent almost 7 months in office and he's blaming Amaechi? Amaechi has been sponsoring hundreds of students every year when he held sway as a governor and he never recalled students even when we had one of the greatest economic downturn in history embarassed
Wike is a curse and failure sad
