One big lesson from Nigerian politics that Wike has learnt so well: as a politician, don't ever do any good deed without getting the media involved. Congratulations to the beneficiaries.

This is commendable, if it is not an act of robbing Peter to pay Paul.

wike is bigger than obi

Hahahaha

Something he didn't do as governor.

Rivers State has always paid bursery to Rivers people in tertiary institution but for 8 years Wike did not pay nor did he invest in any form of human capital development despite the huge funds and resources from Rivers state,he monopolise all the money.
Here all the youths in Rivers state have come out and voiced their rejection of Wike.

Is it abj indigenous people that he wants to decieve?
Lol

You see how skewed your logic sounds....is it compulsory the state government sponsor every Rivers youth through scholarships.

Education is free through primary and junior secondary across the state...the state government also pays for external examinations in SSCE...what else do you want.

He doesn't have supporters yet he made it possible for the ingrate to win the election in all the LGAs in Rivers state?

This is quite pathetic.
Someone who was the governor of an oil rich state like Rivers State but didn’t care about Rivers Students is now awarding scholarship in Abuja.
Did you know that he even brought back students who were already on foreign scholarship abroad.
This is really hypocritical to say the least.

foreign scholarship studying history and other social sciences especially when state owned universities were in terrible conditions, and mind you Amaechi stopped paying their fees a year before he left office , some as high as $30k per annum for undergraduate studies, wike channeled that fund into upgrading state owned universities, built over 4 annex campuses fir UST and upgraded infrastructure in the main campus.

COMRADES, wike is the new co owner of nairaland now oo
His news no the waste time to make it to the front page for us to see and think say the evil APC the work

Fubara is not a he only governor elected on that day.
There were many governors elected that day and just as Wike was elected back then. Wike was not born a governor.

Wike is not the only ex governor.

Let him rest.

If all ex governors behaves like a kid like Wike fighting peotup n down , nobody will stay in Nigeria.
So make una rest

Why didn’t he award his own to those students going for Medicine, Law or Engineering.
How many local scholarships did he award while he was the Governor?
