Governor of Rivers State, Sir Siminalaye Fubara, has expressed worry over the problem of cultism practice amongst students in primary and secondary schools.
Governor Fubara made the assertion Tuesday, 12 September in Port Harcourt, while giving his speech at the commissioning ceremony of Government Comprehensive Secondary School, Borikiri, which was remodeled by the Rivers State Government.
“We have a problem in our school system and that problem is cultism among students. If you join cult when you are in primary or secondary school, by the time you get to the university, you have lost direction already.
“Please, I am begging you to shun cultism and other social vices because you are the future of our tomorrow, you are the ones that will take over from us,” the Governor added.
Furthermore, the Governor emphasized on the importance of education as it is the bedrock of development, progress, and greatness in every society.
“Today’s event is very special because education is the foundation of development and greatness in the society. The project we are commissioning is anchored on something very important, which is, our promise to our people.
“The money we are using to do these works is not my money, it is your money, so we owe you the duty to continue to do those things that impact your lives positively and make our system better.
“The immediate past administration saw the need to embark on the remodeling of this great school that we completed, today we have a world class edifice. We will continue to consolidate on the gains of my predecessor,” he said.
Governor Fubara also enjoined the management and teachers of GCSS, Borikiri to own the project and keep it in good shape.
“I want to charge the school authorities to own these facilities, you should keep them in good shape. We did this for the wellness of the system, he added.
