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.

In a bid to advance the nation's agricultural sector, the National Groundnut Producers Processors  and Marketers Association of Nigerian (NGROPPMAN) has described it's working visit to the Netherlands's Embassy at Lagos Nigeria as a roadmap to boost the nation's economy.  President of the association Hon. Aimu Foni said the move became necessary following the successes recorded by Nigeria's groundnuts in recent times.  Hon.
