Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, has renamed the State Polytechnic, Bori, after the late author and environmental rights activist from Ogoniland, Ken Saro- Wiwa. Wike explained that renaming of the institution, located in Bori, Khana Local Government Area, Ken Saro- Wiwa Polytechnic was in honour of the late activist’s achievements and legacies. The governor, who disclosed this in a statement issued in Port Harcourt on Thursday, said Saro-Wiwa fought selflessly for the good of the society and humanity. He explained that the former Ogoni leader and his achievement should not be consigned to oblivion, saying Saro-Wiwa was known and revered beyond the shores of Nigeria. “In honour of his monumental achievements and legacies, the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, has renamed the Rivers State Polytechnic in Bori as Ken Ule Beeson Saro-Wiwa Polytechnic. “The memories of avatars like the late Saro-Wiwa, who fought selflessly for the betterment of society and humanity should not be consigned to oblivion, more so, when such personalities are revered beyond the shores of the country,” Wike said in the statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Sir, Opunabo Inko-Tariah. www.punchng.com/news/wike-renames-rivers-poly-after-saro-wiwa/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter cc: lalasticlala 25 Likes 2 Shares |

The impacts this man (Wike) is making is somewhat surpassing that of our Baba at the top Anyway that's nice of him...I was watching Arise TV UK, interviewing the late heroe's son(Mr Ken Saro-Wiwa Jrn) last week. I got to know how greatly this man tried to protect his people's interest then. 32 Likes 4 Shares |
