We have built a couple of hostels in Uniport and we are currently rehabilitating roads within the institution to  make learning easier for our people.

GEJ bids for presidential reelection

GEJ bids for presidential reelection The Bayelsa State Peoples Democratic Party has raised alarm over an alleged plot by former President Goodluck Jonathan to take over the control of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state. A top PDP chieftain, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said, “The former President wants to control the state because he desperately wants to stage a come-back at the Presidency in 2019. For him to do that, he must be seen to be in control of the party in the state. “He desires to install not only the next governor; he also wants to install his surrogates in other elective positions in 2019 such as senators, House of Representatives members and the state House of Assembly lawmakers. “Jonathan also desperately wants all groups and individuals with political aspirations to queue behind him as the leader of the party in the state ahead of the 2019 elections. “It will guarantee him a sure footing to make a strong bid for the party...

Rivers 2019: A cry for riverine governor ~written by Barr Owen

In recent times, the media have been inundated with brilliant arguments that power must rotate to the Riverine section of Rivers State. This aspiration no doubt is predicated on the dogged principle of equity and justice aiming at building a virile and egalitarian Rivers state where every section would feel a sense of belonging. Little wonder that a people that produce the bulk of the natural resources for the sustenance of the state and the nation cannot access the seat of power of the state to determine how the resources are applied for the development of the state.
