Wike not fair to Ogoni people,
chief alleges
A member of the Ogoni clean-up Governing
Council in Rivers state, Dr. Peter Medee,
has accused Governor Nyesom Wike of not
being well disposed to issues concerning
Ogoni land, just as he lambasted him for
downgrading the polytechnic in Ogoni land
and reducing it to a glorified secondary
school.
Governor Wike of Rivers State
Dr. Medee also accused the Governor of
reducing the reputation of the polytechnic
sited in Bori, thereby making students
abandon the polytechnic in preference for
the one he cited in Port Harcourt, the Rivers
State capital.
Medee, who is a senior Economics lecturer
in the University of Port Harcourt, told
NAIJ.com in Port Harcourt that Governor
Wike’s administration changed the name of
the polytechnic, thereby localizing the school
and making it look like a private institution.
The Economics lecturer, who also serves as
President of KAGOTE, an acronym for the
four council areas that make up the Ogoni
land, poured venom on the governor insisting
that Governor Wike’s administration has no
good programme for the Ogoni people of
Rivers State.
According to him, “Everyday people are dying
as a result of high level of benzene that is
highly contagious in the area. Former
President Goodluck Jonathan that was
expected to do something for the people didn’t
do anything in that place .
The College converted to Port Harcourt
Polytechnic
“ No drinking water, no school, no federal
presence in Ogoni land. The only thing that
was there which is the Rivers State
polytechnic, the present state government
came, changed the name, thereby localizing
the institution, making it look like a private
institution.
“ Later, the Governor upgraded another school
in Port Harcourt town to a polytechnic status
and as I speak to you there is a drift of
students from that school in Ogoni land to the
Port Harcourt school.Nobody wants to go to
the hinterland of Ogoni that is so devastated
without road”.
He said Governor Wike changed the
polytechnic name from Rivers State
Polytechnic to Ken Saro Wiwa Polytechnic
and upgraded the Rivers State College of
Arts and Science in Port Harcourt to Rivers
State Polytechnic, a development which he
said did not go down well with the Ogoni
people.
He accused the Governor of being unfair to
the Ogoni people, arguing that if the
Governor was well disposed to the Ogonis,
he would have retained the former name so
that the institution would have the symbol of
the state government.
Ken Saro Wiwa Polyechnic
He told NAIJ.com in his university office
that he was a member of the governing
council that planned programmes for the
school, adding that the governing council
had met with the National Board for
Technical Education (NBTE) for approval but
certain actions of the governor had altered
the over 18 months brainstorming they made
to standardize the school.
“ We spent almost 18 months to recruit
teachers, but the present government came,
sacked all the teachers, and because all the
teachers were sacked, we couldn’t get
accreditation for the programmes we presented
to the NBTE and as a result of that, the
institution was denied accreditation.
“ The governor came again changed the name
of the school. Some of us were apprehensive
because we felt that Ken Saro Wiwa was an
international figure. If you must immortalize
him, why not name him after the state
university? Why name him after the school in
Ogoni. He now came and upgraded Rivers
State College of Arts and Science to Rivers
State Polytechnic.
“ People are now saying the two schools
cannot compete. As I speak to you now, all
the students who have finished their National
Diploma and going for HND are leaving the
school for HND in the Port Harcourt
Polytechnic.
“ There is a massive exodus of students from
the place to Port Harcourt. Some of us who
are leaders of Ogoni are not happy, we called
the governor and told him to upgrade the
school to university status or return the name
of the school to what it was before.
“The school at present is at the mercy of the
Governor because no new programme is going
on, no new structure is in the place.
Meanwhile, the one in Port Harcourt is now
being judged as the world’s best polytechnic
but the one in Ogoni is suffering .
“ We are not against him building polytechnics,
if he wants to build 10 polys, no problem but
he should bring life to the school in Ogoni
land. The other day, lecturers in the school
were demonstrating that they are not being
paid their salaries. You are building another
polytechnic when you have not paid salary of
one. These are issues that are rising and they
need be looked into” .
But the Rivers State Commissioner for
Information and Communication, Austin Tam
George, debunked the claims of Dr. Medee,
saying the state has two polytechnics and
that the establishment of one cannot lead to
the closure of the other.
The commissioner said the two polytechnics
in the state will thrive, just as the three
universities in the state are thriving with
thousands of students in them.
He said the commitment of the state
government is to ensure that all the
institutions are centres of excellence in
learning, with fully accredited programm |
