barcanista:
All these were in his first term. His treachery started in his second term. His personal beef with some people in the last administration was worth more than rivers state governance. In fact, the state paid dearly for it.

According to the legendary Nelson Mandela,
“Education is the most powerful weapon which
you can use to change the world.” While to the
famous Walter Cronkite; “Whatever the cost of
our libraries, the price is cheap compared to
that of an ignorant nation.”
To Rt. Hon. Chibuike Amaechi, governing
Rivers State seems like a divine mission where
tomorrow does not exist. In tune with the
statements credited to the above sages, Amaechi
seems to be in a hurry to accomplish so many
things within a short period but I will not like to
bore the readers with the many projects the
Governor has embarked upon as doing so will
entail writing a book but I will briefly highlight
the revolution witnessed by Rivers State within
the five years into the tenure of this young
visionary man in the area of education amongst
others.
For avoidance of doubt, Rt. Hon. Chibuike
Rotim Amaechi came into power as the
Executive Governor of Rivers State on 25th
October, 2007 through the instrumentality of
the Supreme Court Judgement in their historic
and landmark ruling that PDP illegally installed
Celestine Omehia as the party's flag-bearer
during the 2007 general elections instead of the
rightful candidate of the party, Rt. Hon.
Chibuike Amaechi.25th October, 2012 therefore
marked the 5th anniversary of this historical
judgement and it is in celebration of the feats of
this young man in Rivers State within this
period that this treatise is attempted.
The fact remains that pinning down the
achievements of the Governor to one main
project is like looking for a pin in a haystack the
reason being that his strides cut across all
sectors. In the area of education, the Amaechi-
led Government on assumption of office
declared state of emergency on the education
sector and completely took over the payment of
salaries of primary school and junior school
teachers hitherto the statuary function of the
Local Government to ensure that education
takes its rightful place in his administration.
This intervention costs the state government
N800 million monthly to pay the salaries of the
primary school teachers.
The government is targeting building 700 model
primary schools with 500 completed each with
20 classrooms costing N3.1Billion each and
equipped with ICT facility, modern library,
science laboratory, football field, basketball
pitch, volleyball pitch and Nursery playground.
These model Primary schools are built to the
standard of the United Nations and obtainable in
developed parts of the world.
It is also building 24 model secondary schools
across the 23 local government councils in the
state; well structured and fully equipped with
modern day educational, recreation and
boarding facilities with standard housing for
teachers, these secondary schools have grossly
been referred to by observers as Universities.
The Governor knew what his mission is, “We
knew that the problem of the state was basically
education, the state of our quality of education
was abysmal and we knew that the quality can
only improve if we take over primary
education”, the governor emphasized, as he
expressed concern over what local government
councils were doing with the money meant for
that”.
Supporting the above assertion by the Governor
that education is the problem of the State; Dr.
Sampson Parker the Hon. Commissioner of
Health stated when I contacted him on this that
the two major areas this administration is
concentrating on are health and education; “to
me, I always say this, the highest achievement of
this government is nothing but re-establishment
of the educational system. It is not about
health, it is not about anything but education.
To me, if we have achieved education, we have
achieved health care. My challenges in the
health sector are because of the illiterate
population because they hardly understand
what you are saying. But, if we achieve
education in the way the governor is going
about it, pushing it, establishing it, making
enabling laws to protect it for sustainability, I
think the people that will come after us will
benefit from it”.
The government is currently running free
primary education with free books and uniform,
provisions of library and internet facilities for
the primary schools. The government has
acquired 150 hectres of land to relocate the
premier University of Technology in Nigeria; the
Rivers State University of Science and
Technology (RSUST), to a bigger and better
permanent site. The new site is expected to have
facilities that will accommodate no fewer than
50,000 students. The Rivers State Government
has been adjudged the best performing state in
the Education sector within the South-South
zone. In recognition of this the Federal Ministry
of Education has rewarded the state with the
sum of N70 million for its performance. Due
Process procedure has been complied with in
respect to the furnishing of the model primary
schools as well as completed Health Centres,
noting that they would be furnished soon.
Apart from the areas mentioned above, the
Governor stated that the Rivers State
Government under his watch apart from
retraining its Teachers has employed more
Teachers to teach in the new model schools. The
process of employing extra 13,000 Teachers
from the 20,000 shortlisted for interview out of
the over 45,000 teachers that applied will soon
be concluded. The State he said has offered
scholarships to over 2,000 students in Nigerian
Higher Institutions and has spent about N5bn
for her students in foreign Intuitions. The State
is building a world Class University which when
completed will turn out well equipped
graduates that will hold their own in any field
and compete with the best in the world.
In Rivers State University of Science and
Technology the Rivers State Government is
building a hostel that will accommodate about 6,
000 students and accommodation for all the
Lecturers of the university. The university
according to him will be fully ICT compliant. He
stated plans to buy a computer for every
student in the secondary schools to ensure that
the state is ICT compliant. It's important to
point out here that the Rivers State Government
is among the few States in Nigeria that offer
free education and free health delivery to its
people but stands apart as the only State
offering free education, free sandals, free books
and free uniform in Nigeria. About 500 new
primaries schools have been built in 350
communities across the State, a feat that no
other state in Africa is yet to accomplish.
According to the Rivers State Governor, Mr.
Rotimi Amaechi, his administration would
sanitise the state's education sector to ensure
production of quality graduates. He also
reaffirmed his administration's readiness to
fully support all state-owned academic
institutions to provide quality education.
Amaechi made the disclosure at the 24th
Convocation Ceremony of the Rivers State
University of Science and Technology (RUST),
Port Harcourt recently.
He said his administration would continue to
strive to provide a conducive atmosphere that
will enhance academic excellence; “Let me
reiterate the commitment of the Rivers State
Government to provide a conducive teaching
and learning environment in the face of
competing needs, but in return, government
would expect the highest teaching standards
and vigorous research that are the hallmarks of
great institutions. We reassure you of our
determination to sanitise our educational sector
and make our institutions of learning world
class and envy of all,” he said.
The Governor after commending Prof B.B.
Fakae, promised to ensure the Senate Building
of the University; “We must commend the
university and commitment of the management,
faculty and students of this university, especially
the resolute and visionary leadership of the Vice
Chancellor, Prof. B. B. Fakae who not only
broke the jinx of non accreditation of courses in
the university but was also able to clear the
backlog of students that needed to graduate,”.
To further strengthen and ensure qualitative
education in the State, the Rivers State
Governor, Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, has signed
into law five new bills brought for his assent by
the state House of Assembly that includes the
Rivers State Universal Basic Education
Amendment Bill 2012, the Rivers State Senior
Secondary Schools' Board Bill 2012. The Rivers
State governor, Rotimi Amaechi was upbeat
while signing into law these bills including that
on social services levy passed by the Rivers
State House of Assembly recently.
Amaechi had every reason to be happy. He had
campaigned for weeks, on the need to have the
new law in place. For the governor, the new law
sponsored by the executive arm is a vital step
towards sustainable development in the health
and education sectors of the state.
Essentially, the new law introduces a social
service levy to be paid by all employed and self
employed indigenes and residents of Rivers
State. The funds accruable from this levy will be
used for such purposes as: funding the state's
free education programme in primary and
secondary schools; providing and improving on
the medical facilities in government health
centres and supporting other essential social
services approved by the State Executive
Council, amongst others.
On the imperative of the new social service levy,
Amaechi cited his experience as a child to
portray the importance of the new law. “We are
a family of nearly ten and I happen to be the
only one who had a university education and my
father struggled to put me through university.
We lived in a public compound of about 16
rooms with just one toilet and one bathroom.
Most of my very good mates didn't go to
university because their parents could not
afford it. Some barely struggled to pass through
secondary education.
Have we asked ourselves how many children
are dropping out of schools? Have we found
out why there is an increase in crime in the
state? Have we found out why most of those
who claim to be militants do not have more
than primary three certificates? Have we tried
to find out why a lot of people are unemployed?
A lot of us go to university but are not
employable because of the quality of
education.” This tally with the vision of Jean
Piaget, a Swiss cognitive Psychologist on
education, “The principal goal of education is to
create men who are capable of doing new
things, not simply of repeating what other
generations have done”.
Apart from the above, the Rivers State
government says some designated schools with
enough space, will be upgraded and made to
admit students on compulsory boarding basis to
complement the new 24 model secondary
schools, as an interim arrangement, pending the
construction of more new schools in the State.
The plan is aimed at improving the capacity of
the State to cope with the new challenge of
compulsory barding in the state schools.
The Rivers State Government through its
scholarship Board reconstituted by Governor
Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi and the Rivers State
Sustainable Development Agency RSSDA created
by law by the Amaechi administration each
gives out yearly overseas and local scholarships
to Rivers indigenes to study vital courses. The
Scholarships include Doctorate, Post Graduate,
Undergraduate, Diploma and Secondary
education.
The wife of the Governor, Dame Judith Amaechi
is not left behind in promoting and uplifting the
standard of education in Rivers State. Through
her pet project, 'Empowerment Support
Initiative' (ESI) has built about 20 permanent
primary schools that offers free education.
Nigeria's first lady, Dame Patience Jonathan in
recognition of these efforts of Dame Amaechi in
assisting her husband in this regard lauded her
for setting up the Empowerment Support
Initiative (ESI), and through it, provides tuition
free and quality kindergarten education in the
State. According to Mrs. Jonathan, “I want to
say that we will contribute and support this
NGO because it is an NGO for everybody and we
will make it achieve its vision for the children
because if you train up a child in the way he/she
should go, he/she will not depart from it.
Besides according to Her Excellency Dame Judith
Amaechi the first lady of Rivers State and wife
of the Governor, “the ESI School is a
transitional ground that prepares the children
mentally and psychologically for the expectation
and sustainability into model primary education
even as we have built 20 permanent schools in
several communities in the state; I urge all
stakeholders to support the scheme. My
education intervention programme was initiated
to complement the State Government revolution
in the education sector”###

That is because he asked them to return d over $140m recovered by d US Government.

Rumpelstiltskin:

29 years no too much oooo. He is even going to spend only 4 years. What a pity. It should have been 29 yrs 4 real.

Godisnotaman:
Brotherly, nobody is still in the camp (exception of Conpass 03 who are still doing documentation) but at their various States Command undergoing Intensive Induction.
As for the APLs, only Conpass 08 are yet to get theirs but will be issued anytime from now.

Did u mean that none of d successful CONPASS 08 has been given APL?

oluemmakay:
Coup is the last thing we want now. But i know that the military d president is romancing with are ready to back stab him anytime, if dis postponement persist. But the General should know that dis is a democratic era he shud stop threatening us wit a coup.

Comprehension is d problem of some people. He said that postponing d election again means that the current Govt is partaking in civilian coup. He didnt say that he will start or partake in a coup. The govt should not start a coup.

ATMCARD2:
Weda debate or not,i will deliver 20,000 votes for Jonathan.He is our VAL........and notin can change it.Msg me through ma wall link and get a Val vest.GEJ....till 2019.

I am lost. Please when is 30th January, 2015.

AmucheJane:
When I was reading down I thought I will see the certificate. Is obvious that buhari has no certificate. Just show us the certificate. Like seriously O'level is too poor for someone to contest for any post, am not saying this because buhari don't have any but let us face the fact. Lord let this upcoming election be a peaceful one in Jesus name, Amen.

tit:
if buhari can ask katsina protocol college for his result,
then he can ask Cambridge for his result too.
unless the result get comma.

psucc:
My friend as bat 1961 such gradings did not exist.

What is the big deal there. If Buhari had any result, what stops him from applying for a reissue of the certificate. Why did he applied for the issuance of statement of result from his school and cannot do same to the examiner?

Enough of this hide and seek game. Nigeria is well above 40years and cannot afford to be a fool forever.

SeverusSnape:
All the same, WHERE IS THE CERTIFICATE

And this is a BIG LIE!... from time immemorial, You as a student must pass mathematics before proceeding to any other level, mathematics makes a student's reasoning ability higher, If Buhari really failed maths, Then his IQ level is definitely below average.

I repeat, This is a lie, A whole CAMBRIDGE will say "...don't worry, you can fail mathematics"...Hehehehehehehehehe, I laugh in Swahili, even the English he passed, How is he using it..."kwaraftion"...."A fee cee".... undecided



If you think that Buhari does not have certificate or you are not satisfied with what he presented, what stops you from going to court. Is that too hard to do?

talktimi:
Everyone knows thr APC are major financiers and supporters of boko haram activities, even Buhari complained bitterly that killing his boko boys us an injustice done by the military. Why does Olisa Metuh like asking strange questions sometimes sef

And the Government could not do anything about it. Shame on the Government that claim to know who the terrorists are and could not do any reasonable thing to stop terrorism. Who is deceiving who?

ngoziiwenofu1:
Kaduna (NDR) - This certificate scandal of Maj-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari has really opened the eyes of many. Initially, some of us in the north thought that Goodluck Jonathan in his desperate move to remain in power beyond 2015 wants to use this certificate issue to shut out our champion, Buhari.


But from every indication, the opposite is the case. It's an understatement to say that I'm ashamed of being a Muslim and be supporting Buhari. Islam is not about lies and evil. Islam is a true religion based on peace and unity. 


For over a month, Buhari is yet to provide his certificate and remove the shame he has painted on us, his diehard supporters. I mean, how difficult is it for Buhari to instruct WAEC to send a copy of his certificate to INEC, not to Premium Times? Is this so difficult? He doesn't need to travel to do this. The time he used in Press Conference is the same opportunity he would tell WAEC to kindly send his certificate to INEC. By so doing, the whole world would know that he is truly a man of integrity and incorruptible. 


Organizing a Press Conference with the aim to release a shabbily prepared Statement of Result is not ideal, especially when the CERTIFICATE is there with WAEC. Or is the Statement of Result more valuable than the CERTIFICATE?


For 2 days now, I have thought about everything I held Buhari at high esteemed thinking that he was being victimized by the lucifers in PDP, but I was wrong. I have come to a solid conclusion that he has been lying to us, his ardent supporters. I am ashamed to say this, but I must say it. I must describe Buhari in 6 words:


1. FRAUD - he entered the army without any certificate but rose to the rank of Maj-General taking salaries and pensions which he didn't merit.


2. COUPIST - he was the arrowhead in ousting Gowon in 1976 as well as Shagari in 1983.


3. LOOTER - I now believe the $2 billion in midland bank Fela sang about.


4. BIGOT - He jailed politicians that are not from his ethnic group or how could one explain why Shagari wasn't jailed but Ekwueme was. He feels so proud that he executed 76% of PTF projects in the north, neglecting even our Muslim brothers and sisters in the Southwest.


5. LIAR - He maintains that Abacha didn't steal just because he followed Abacha and looted Nigeria dry. He claims to have N1m in his bank account, yet his children are in the UK schooling where millions of naira are paid as Tuition fees.


6. FORGER - this one is causing me depression. I can't believe that Buhari has no single certificate, instead of him to open up, he went and forged one. 

We have no option than to stick with Jonathan till 2019. Buhari has messed us up walahi!

It is so pathetic how hard u tried to make ur point. It is so painful to see u fail this way. Were u not alive when d master list that contains Buhari's result was published? Do u seriously believe that PDP wouldn't have gone to court if GMB truly does not have cert. Shame. It is better for u to advice PDP, GEJ and INEC to go to court if they are not satisfied with GMB's result, simple. No amount of blackmail can affect d man, don't u understand? U people are nothing but distraction and a focused man can't be distracted. Period.

ONE HONEST LEADER.

How can a former Head of State who earns 300 million Naira per annum, say he has no N27 Million to buy presidential nomination form? A very pertinent question, I must say. And as someone who believes in knowing the truth before acting, I took my enquiry to the Nigerian ministry of finance and this was the response I got: Yes, it is true, All heads of states collect on the average 23 million Naira every month, apart from General Muhammadu Buhari. He (General Buhari) objected to collecting most of the allowances,insisting they were bogus and therefore amount to corruption. He personally wrote a letter to the ministry to that effect. As a result he collected only N2.3M a month equivalent of 10% of what he is entitled, which he believes is his legitimate earnings!! Imagine how honest this man is!! May God give us the wisdom to accept reality. Please let's vote wisely, we need a leader that can fight corruption. Buhari is that leader.

Investigation also has it on authority that he is the only one amongst past presidents who returns his car after a 4 year cycle for a replacement as required. Others get the new and keep the old. Share with Nigerians.

This is a campaign material please pass on and share within your circle of influence if you align with operation CHANGE....‪#‎VoteCHANGE‬....otherwise, feel free to delete the message.

korel9:
Thank God I made it today to the front page. I will commentus when I come back from Friday prayers.
So stay tuned

Ehen before then, a question or two for all Naijans esp GMB supporters:

* Why is GMB so confident he can stop the boko boys? (food for thought)

* How does he intend to fulfil all his blind promises to Nigeria knowing he only has "more than one million" in his account and that the foreign reserve isn't as filled as he is envisaging? Especially when he refunds all the campaign money to his cohorts and repays the acclaimed money he used to purchase his presidential bid form!

* Why is GMB so confident he can stop the boko boys? (food for thought)

Because he has done it before with Matasini.

Rochas is a big disgrace to the imolite
Squandering the state account to finance a known boko haramite

When has right to support and donate to any candidate as u will agree with me. What makes Buhari a boko haramite, hypocrite.

For the people calling Amaechi names and asking for his head, this is my question for you:

1. Who is more relevant between SSG and VP of Nigeria?

2. Is it possible for a VP to resign and become SSG?

Amaechi did his calculation well.

Amaechi will prefer SSG to VP

If you think that I am right, pls give me likes.
