The Nigeria Maritime University Okerenkoko was approved by former president Goodluck Jonathan through its Agency Nimasa, and it is the only Maritime University in Nigeria. The question for Amaechi now is if this University was to be in his community, would he had moved the motion for FG to cancel it? also he said nobody would send their children there to study, how is that even possible? that is a pure lie Mr Minister, most Federal Universities i know in Nigeria are located in thick forest and most are far away from main cities, and yet students still go there to study, and these Universities have population even on an isolated places, then why is Amaechi saying that no parents will send their children there to study. Gbaramatu Kingdom is a busy place and it has many oil refineries around it, many foreigners go there to work in the oil companies, the Excravos river and Chevron is from there, ship export oil and products from there, why then would the Minister said that nobody would go there to study?. This is a University that would bring development to Gbaramatu Kingdom, Niger Delta and Nigeria, and as a President from the Niger-Delta region. i can recall that he built many other universities in the North and other part of Nigeria, and it was the one in Niger-Delta Okerenkoko that should be cancelled, why didnt the Minister asked the senate to cancel all the Universities built by President Jonathan in other parts of Nigeria, is it that President Jonathan does not have the right to propose or approve University that he wish to approve? because i dont know understand.This so call Amaechi is from this same Niger-Delta, it is very clear that the Minister does not want the progress and development of Niger-Delta, this is an act of wickedness. Since President Buhari assumed office, his government has been fighting all those that supported former President Jonathan and PDP members, ordering EFCC to probe people illegally, and the probe didnt extend beyond PDP members, the question is, what about all the APC people that were in office under Jonathan's administration, why cant they be probed too? someone like Amaechi and Timipre Sylva will be walking freely, meanwhile they are the founders of corruption, please Mr President fight the fight fairly. During Amaechi tenure as the governor of Rivers state, so many students were sent abroad to student, since December 2014 these students have not been paid their feeding and accommodation money, some have been sent back to Nigeria by their Universities due to not payment of tuition fees and feeding money, some have been finding other ways to survive, it is only God that is saving these students, you sent students abroad to study and abandoned them, is that fair? then this same Amaechi is saying that the only University president approved to be built in Niger-Delta should be cancelled. It was the new governor of Rivers state, Wike who has tried his best to pay most of the students fees. It is obvious that Amaechi does not want the progress of the Niger-Delta as a whole, but God wont let him. I believe he is working for the North and President Buhari.
I am not against anybody, i do not mind who ever that leads Nigeria, all we want is do the right thing and Develop the Nigerian state for us. President Buhari would succeed if he stops listening to bad advisers, not all the advisers are telling him the right thing to do. I pray God should direct him to do the right thing.
President Jonathan didnt do anything wrong when he callled Buhari to congratulate him on his victort at the last year's 2015 general election, something nobody has ever done in the world, not even the US or UK has that happened before, Jonathan didnt make any trouble, he left the Aso Rock House peacefully and Buhari came in. Why then President Buhari led government is destroying all the things Jonathan had done while he was the president, what would have happened if Jonathan had won the election?, or if he did not accept defeat and congratulated Buhari? Nigeria we should think, 80% of the people in APC now were all in PDP, and they all campaigned for Jonathan during the 2015 election, all of them betrayed Jonathan. The man has left the presidential seat for you, please let him be sir, i beg you in the name of God. i am a student and i learn new things everyday, before they said we Niger-Delta people we love trouble, we love war, now that our own son President Goodluck Jonathan approved this University to be built in the Niger-Delta so that our people will not be travelling and sending their children to abroad to study like myself, we the Niger-Deltans say no to cancellation of our Maritime University, Okerenkoko, we want our school back.
Due to the cancellation motion raised by the Minister of Transport, Amaechi, a peaceful protest was made at Asaba, Delta state government house today 26th of January 2015, for the Federal Government not to cancel the University, the Niger-Deltans have the right to own a Maritime univeristy and go to school in our region, the University project must go on, cancelling this University would bring problem and there will be no peace except President Buhari stop the cancellation of the Martime University.
The Minister also said there were no building constructions on ground at the school, meanwhile he was informed wrongly. All the building at the temporary site of the University have been completed, and work is in progress at the permanent site. we want to let the whole world know that we the Niger-Deltans can not be oppressed, Jonathan had the right to approve a University and the Buhari government should continue with the University project, this University will bring substantial development to Niger-Delta.
see pictures of the protesting students and pictures of the University building after the cut.
