ABES COMMITMENT TO EDUCATION PAYS FIRST CLASS DIVIDEND

ABE'S COMMITMENT TO EDUCATION PAYS FIRST CLASS DIVIDEND

Over a century ago, Benjamin Franklin, a founding father of the United States of America said that "an investment in knowledge pays the best interest". That statement holds true today as when it was first uttered. The Most Distinguished Senator Magnus Abe was probably thinking about that statement when as Secretary to Rivers State Government under Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, he facilitated overseas scholarships for many Ogoni sons and daughters.

Today, at a time when the present Rivers State Government under Chief Nyesom Wike is withdrawing the scholarships of thousands of Rivers students abroad and demanding their deportation back home, Mr Barididum Nwinka Taol from Barako in Gokana came to Magnus Abe's house with his parent and chiefs from his community to thank the Senator for facilitating his scholarship to study Marine Engineering in Amet University, India. And he came armed with a first class degree which he acquired from his academic sojourn in India. It was a moment of joy as Senator Abe embraced and congratulated the young man for achieving a great feat by making a first class in such tasking disciplined.

Senator Magnus Abe used the opportunity to reiterate his commitment to arm young people from his district with education in order for them to make positive impact in the society rather than arming people with guns as other politicians are doing.

Coming with Mr Barididum to thank Senator Magnus Abe was the Paramount Ruler of Barako, Chief Dr. Barikuura Kabari, father of the first class graduate, Mr Nwinka Taol and the APC Ward Chairman of Ward 11 in Gokana LGA.

See What Pres. Buhari Said That Got Nigerians Wondering

Full text: Muhammadu Buhari’s 2018 New Year address I join my fellow citizens this morning to welcome and celebrate the New Year 2018. This year promises to be pivotal in our quest for CHANGE. Unfortunately, I am saddened to acknowledge that for many this Christmas and New Year holidays have been anything but merry and happy. Instead of showing love, companionship and charity, some of our compatriots chose this period to inflict severe hardship on us all by creating unnecessary fuel scarcity across the country. The consequence was that not many could travel and the few who did had to pay exorbitant transport fares. This is unacceptable given that NNPC had taken measures to ensure availability at all depots. I am determined to get to the root of this collective blackmail of all Nigerians and ensure that whichever groups are behind this manipulated hardship will be prevented from doing so again. Such unpatriotism will not divert the Administration from the c...
