Rivers Government has closed no fewer than 1,886 schools operating without government’s approval, Gov. Nyesom Wike said in Port Harcourt on Tuesday.



Wike made the development known when the management staff of Jesuit Memorial College, Mbodo-Aluu, paid him a courtesy visit.



He said the schools were shut for failing to meet specified standards of the state Ministry of education.



He said that parents patronising the affected schools had been told to relocate their wards before the next academic session began.



According to him, the government will fully implement measures aimed at strengthening the state education sector by September.



“We want to maintain standards that will uplift education in the state,” Wike said.



Wike also explained that his administration was committed to transforming the state and empowering its people through an enhanced education sector.



He condemned examination malpractice associated with some illegal schools operating as West African Examination Council (WAEC) centres in some remote parts of the state.



According to the governor, most illegal schools have become WAEC magic centres where examination malpractices are promoted.



He, however, commended the management of the Jesuit Memorial College for establishing a branch in Rivers in honour of the 60 students who died in the Sosoliso air crash in Port Harcourt on Dec.10, 2005.



He assured them of the state government’s support to ensure that the school served the people better.



Earlier, the Principal of the school, Rev. Emeka Asogwa, explained that the school was established in memory of the 60 students of Jesuit Memorial College, Abuja, who died in the air crash.



He commended the state government for partnering the school in infrastructural development.



He also appealed to the governor to assist the school to get the Certificate of Occupancy for the 21 hectare of land allocated to it by the state government.

PLEASE DON'T EVER EAT INDOMIE WITH FRIED EGG
AGAIN AT VENDORS ESPECIALLY AT ABOKI JOINTS !!

I can't believe it but it happened to my friends last
night.
My friends went to a food vendor to eat , they told the mallam to fix 3 indomie and 8 eggs then they sat down to chill till he prepare the food, he was cooking and they were gisting, suddenly he told them the food was ready then he served them the food . while they were eating he asked them what they wanted to drink and they ordered for fanta and maltina, he brought the drinks, they opened it and drank.

30 minutes later, they finished eating and paid the
mallam and they started walking back home when one of them suddenly remembered that he left his phone on the table then he ran back to get it , luckily for him the phone was still there and he picked it and ran back home to sleep.



And that's exactly what happened.

With this economiv hardship grin the rate of unemployment will increase. The state government should provide to the effected people the avenue of making money to feed their families.
Re: Wike Closes 1,886 Illegal Schools In Rivers State by Nobody: 11:12am On Aug 09, 2017
close 1,900 schools illegal or otherwise and you

1. Put 1 million children out of school

2. Make 50,000 staff unemployed

3. 10,000 Businesses supplying the schools may shut down due to loss of this major source of their income and causing further unemployment.

This action is probably has far more sinister motives than majority of us are imagining.

was it combination of nursery, primary and secondary schools that was closed or just secondary school alone..

If it was secondary school alone, that means every street of PH got schools...including govt owned schools

Wike got it right this time, a lot of mushroom substandard nursery/primary schools in Rivers State.

Some of their facilities are not conducive for birds in a poultry not to talk of human beings who are the future of tomorrow.
