Wike’s Wife Urges Children to Take their Education Seriously

-

The wife of the Rivers State Governor, Justice Eberechi Suzzette Nyesom-Wike, has called on Rivers children to take their education seriously as a foundation to be responsibl­e citizens in the future.

Addressing children during the 2018 Children’s Day celebratio­n at Isaac Boro Park in Port Harcourt yesterday, Justice Nyesom-Wike told the children that education is key to their progress in the society.

She said: “Once you get an education, everything will find its place, because you will be empowered to be responsibl­e citizens.

“You need to be careful and mindful of the friends that you eep. This is because evil communicat­ion corrupts good manners. Not everyone has a right to come into your space.” The Rivers governor’s wife prayed for God’s blessing on all Rivers children as they make progress in life.

“God will establish you and you will not die before your time. You will live long to fulfill all your days and everything that God has planned for you to achieve,” Justice Nyesom-Wike prayed.

She noted that to ensure that children are more responsibl­e across the state and alive to their responsibi­lities, Rivethics clubs will be introduced in schools.

Justice Nyesom-Wike said children are very special gifts from God and must be nurtured for the good of the society.
