According to the latest info received, the Rivers State Governor,Rotimi Chibuike Ameachi, has promised to improve on the facilities of the Rivers State Polytechninc (RivPoly).
“He made the promise in Port Harcourt, the state capital, during the 18th and the 20th convocations of the Rivers State Polytechnic (RIVPOLY) where he was the special guest of honour.
He said the institution deserves government’s assistance, adding that his administration’s investment in education was yielding positive result.
He said stealing and corruption in government have reduced the state’s income making it difficult for the government to pay salaries, fund projects and take care of the schools.
He said what the state receives monthly could not execute numerous projects initiated by his administration, adding that lack of fund has become a setback to education.
He noted that his administration had been faithful in the management of resources, which has led to landmark achievements, especially, in the area of education.
He assured the school’s management of more interventions from the state through improved infrastructure.
“The stealing and corruption going on in our government and in the federation have reduced the state’s income from N25 billion to N12 billion, so how do we pay salaries, fund projects and take care of the schools? he asked, adding: “It is the responsibility of the government to fund schools.
He continued: “I have spoken with the Rector of this institution on how to bring the school to standard, but the income coming to us is not allowing government to meet the needs of the people as expected.
“I am delighted to say that our efforts are bearing fruits. We have made numerous achievements, such as the recognition of Port Harcourt as the UNESCO World Book Capital, among others.”
The Rector of the institution, Prof. Obianko Nwolu-Elechi, thanked the governor for honouring the invitation,
He said: “The challenge of the institution is funding, but despite that we are doing our best to ensure that we are among the best polytechnics in Nigeria, including areas of research and planning.”
