Governor Funeral admitted Rivers Schools is deplorable.

Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has said that improving the poor state of education in Rivers State is a top priority of his administration, announcing that the sector will receive the largest allocation in the 2026 budget.

Governor Fubara made the disclosure on Monday while declaring open the 123/124 combined quarterly meeting of the Rivers State Council of Traditional Rulers in Port Harcourt.

He admitted that many schools across the state are in bad shape but stressed that the decay did not happen overnight.

According to him, the deterioration predated his government and was one of the major issues used by opponents during the 2023 election campaigns.

The governor said his team is working strategically to reverse the decline, noting that his background in public administration guides his approach to planning and reform.

On healthcare, the governor pointed to the ongoing upgrade of zonal hospitals and other interventions in the healthcare workers welfare as evidence of improved service delivery in the sector.

Speaking on employment, Governor Fubara said the government remains committed to creating jobs but insisted that recruitment, including the anticipated 10,000 openings, will be based on the needs of the state.

He assured that the exercise will not be politicised.

Monday’s meeting, which was the 3rd and 4th combined session of the year and the fourth since he assumed office, also provided an opportunity for Governor Fubara to commend traditional rulers for their role in resolving the political impasse that once threatened stability in the state.

He said their intervention helped maintain peace in their domains, contributing to the largely calm atmosphere currently enjoyed.

The Executive Chairman of Khana Local Government Area, Hon. Dr. Thomas Bariere, DSSRS, has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to education and youth empowerment with the approval of bursary payment for students of Khana origin in tertiary institutions across the country.

According to a statement released by the Special Adviser on Students Affairs, Comr. N-Epba Goodness, the council announced the commencement of documentation for bursary payment, beginning Monday, 27th October 2025, at the Khana Local Government Council Secretariat.

According to the release, the exercise is part of Dr. Bariere’s broader education support policy aimed at easing the financial burden on students and promoting human capital development in Khana.

“All indigent students of Khana origin are advised to visit the Office of the Special Adviser on Students Affairs to obtain the bursary form free of charge,” the statement noted.

Applicants are expected to come along with the original and photocopies of key documents, including two recent passport photographs, admission letter, school identity card, voter’s card, and N.U.K.S ID card.

The council described the bursary initiative as a demonstration of Dr. Bariere’s unwavering belief that education remains the foundation for community growth and sustainable development.

“This gesture underscores the Chairman’s passion for education, youth development, and human capital growth in Khana Local Government,” the statement added.

The bursary payment, once completed, is expected to benefit hundreds of Khana students studying within and outside Rivers State, reinforcing the local government’s drive to ensure that no student is left behind due to financial hardship.

“For our students, the future is now,” Comr. Goodness affirmed, emphasizing that the Bariere administration will continue to invest in initiatives that inspire academic excellence and empower young people across Khana.

DELIVER IN ONE MONTH OR LOSE CONTRACT, GOV. FUBARA WARNS CONTRACTOR

Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has given Raffoul Nigeria Limited, contractor handling the lingering 6.5 kilometers Woji-Aleto-Alesa-Refinary link road project one month to deliver or have the contract cancelled.

Expressing disappointment at the contractor following inspection of the project Friday, October 10, 2025, the governor said the handover note he received after the state of emergency showed that the Sole Administrator under the emergency rule, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas cancelled the contract.

He said from his own evaluation, after earlier giving Raffoul Nigeria Limited two successive variations to enable the contractor make meaningful progress, the result has been disappointing and he is tempted to affirm the cancellation of the contract declared by the Administrator.

Gov. Fubara said at the project site, "I feel highly disappointed with the level of performance of this contractor Raffoul. This project was awarded in June 2020 by my predecessor and he managed the project.

"When I came in, I went as far as giving variations twice to enable them (the contractor) achieve good proportion of this job. To my greatest surprise, there is no time you seat with them to discuss that you come out with anything substantial.

"I was briefed in the handover note (from the Administrator) that this particular project, while the emergency rule was on, was evaluated and he cancelled it. If they can't complete this job in the next one month, I will cancel the contract, honestly speaking."

While on the project inspection, the governor encountered indiscriminate dredging activities on the Woji River, wondering why anyone should embark on such businesses posing a threat to the environment.

Gov. Fubara queried, "How could a normal human being be dredging very close to the bridge, is it proper? If I destroy the dredging machine they will say Fubara is a very wicked man.

"This is the last warning. If I come here or get any information that dredging activities are still being conducted around this area, moreover close to this bridge, I will take a drastic measure"

The 6.5 Km Woji-Aleto-Alesa-Refinary link road includes a 200 meter bridge which is to serve as an alternative route to the East-West road.
