Irrespective of political differences, we must commend those with better intentions, Wike is one of them

Ehen! Work not talk.
Well-done sir.

Wike is Working.
The zombies can do the needful! #hugatransformernearby

Smh this is done every year... Na

It's obvious after the supreme Court ruling wike tempo has droped.... I hope this not another odili??

In as much as this is a welcomed development.
It's best for the Nigerian government (irrespective of party) to create a structure that makes things like this very affordable to peeps that may need them.

These people keep making us feel like they are being 'charitable' by giving us our right.
...but at least some still try give small from the plenty wey them wan thief.

we have the money. he must use it right.

hope he continue like this. not after buying/winning people's heart he makes a u turn tomorrow and start what people don't like.

good work. go ahead with the secondary schools since our ex handled primary schools.

Nice

God bless you sire, for doing your job and acting like a sane governor for once in ur life

Ehya!!! There are some governors like aregbesola.. Okorocha just to mention a few that have made the living condition of their indigenes worst since they assumed power yet they are hailed and immortalised by zombies... Atleast this one is trying by giving the people of Rivers good governance so he deserves to be praised cos some do nothing at all..

Cry me a lagoon!!! Wike the slayer of ameashit.. The one man dat turned a lion to a lizard and chased it awt of the jungle.. The one man that fought the DSS ameashit the FG APC and came awt unscathed.. If e pain una make una go jam head for wall

Arts and commercial students which pratical una dey do

So fun to be a science student

I must be sincere. .wike is really making waves in Nigeria politics, I indulge him to extend his gesture to private owned secondary schools....lga's like Portharcourt. obio/akpor and eleme has more of private schools than public, and this public schools have fewer students.......guidance and parents dnt put their wards and children in public schools because of their impunity and gross irresponsibility from the principal down to the classroom teachers.

Nice we need more of this
