exactly bros. Nigeria is currently undergoing economic hardship. Our leaders have to do something and the masses should get ready to pay the price.

Not too good.
It is a very good move,which should be emulated by other states governors.

I am not in support of this decision to recalled those that are already on the programme. Please forum let us assume we are in the same shoe can we be happy with this development? i agree with Wike however, he should stop the scholarship from now and put our institutions in proper shape but he should allow those that are on to complete for goodness sake. That is my view.

Her father says the country is in an economic mess. Why doesn't he patriotically withdraw her from there to a federal university to ease costs too?

The only problem I see with overseas scholarship is that most of the beneficiaries never return for the state that sponsored them to benefit from their knowledge.

But if you ask me I'll say Nigeria's educational system need a lot of improvement.

Good move if you ask me.
Let's not wish them ill luck because we are not beneficiaries. I bet your opinion would've been different if it was you or your relative that will be affected.

As supervising minister of education, ASUU strike was his legacy. And now as governor, he is recalling students. He is saying he cant pay N3Billion annually for students for a state as rich as Rivers.

Rivers state generated N11Billion as IGR in january 2016.. One wonders what he does with all these money.
Hahahahahhaha..
The bobo dey use rivers money do thanksgiving for church!

I don't wish anybody ill but the collective good is better than the aspirations of an individual. I have said it before that our universities were once good enough to produce brilliants graduates, even Wole Soyinka, nobel prize winner went to University of Ibadan. If we (government and alumni) invest in our universities, students wont have to go abroad.

I also said in a post that if I were the student or the parent, I would be annoyed if you dont pay my fees and i find out you embezzled money. the implication being that when you sacrifice the future of students, you had better put the money to good use.


Although thinking about it, a better approach is probably to honour existing foreign scholarships and freeze new ones.

What's the point you made. He gave a good reason and those in final year aren't affected. When he came into office their back log of fees that Amaechi refused to pay their fees towards the end of his tenure he did offset the bills. Party loyalists were favored. Let them come back home. Wike doesn't take nonsense

Yeah just like he shouldn't withdraw her, state and federal governments shouldn't withdraw students on scholarships at this stage of their education.

Very good. Let the political big wicks bring out those monies they've stolen and pay for their children fees abroad or invest the money here towards the improvement of our educational sector.

Even if Wike did this with bad intentions as some will have us believe, I think that it is a step in the right direction albeit unknown to him.

Now thats correct , we re back to reality.

Most of these kids dont return after their programs they get juicy jobs abroad and remain, they only come back to show off their wealth and flee back.

Its ironic that a stare government has to spend its meager resources to provide cheap labor for countries abroad.

Tell me what has rivers state benefited from these students who completed their programs . ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

Wikes approach is realistic, workers in the scholarship benefit from these programs thru kickbacks.

Its a shame that rich politicians who steal govt funds still want free money for their kids, what do they use their ill gotten wealth for just to buy fancy cars, build houses , drink ogogoro and sponsor militants to cause trouble in the state. huh
i think most poor pple benefit too..
