FG Praises Wike For Building Befitting Law School, Says He’s Promise Keeper

The Federal Government, yesterday, described Governor Nyesom Wike as a true promise keeper for matching words with action on delivering the Dr. Nabo Graham Douglas Campus of the Nigerian Law School in Port Harcourt, Rivers State as the best ever, on record time.

At a gathering where Wike handed over more land title documents and hint on completion of the Law School Campus project to the authorities, Chairman, Council of Legal Education, Chief Emeka Ngige, noted that Wike promised to deliver on the audacious promise a month before the deadline.

Governor Wike on the occasion re-emphasised that the Dr. Nabo Graham Douglas Campus of the Nigerian Law School in Port Harcourt has been delivered to be self-sustaining.

Ngige, following the latest project inspection and receipt of the further titled documents said: “July 21, 2021, when we came for foundation laying, His Excellency promised this project will be delivered in one-year. Behold, today is June 27, 2022, not up to July yet and he had delivered.

“Recall that when we were doing the ground breaking ceremony, His Excellency promised that every month he will give this campus N10 million for four years, and will be given in advance, that is about N480 million to run this institution.

“When I learnt that he had acquired adjoining property, houses, shopping malls and other business facilities for the Law School to rent out to raise revenue to run this institution. شرح لعبة روليت I can tell you it is unparalleled.”
