River State Governor, Siminialayi Fubara of Rivers State said he doesn’t give a damn over what anybody say for choosing private school for the education of his children.
Speaking as one of the guests that graced the graduation ceremony of the 2023 Grade Six Class of Private Green Oak International School, Port Harcourt, on behalf of his son Joseph, the governor maintained that he was left with no other choice than ignore public school given its poor standard.
“For the past two weeks, every morning, Joseph wakes up, comes to my bed, and asks: are you attending my graduation? “I was looking for an excuse but because of the way he was insisting, I don’t want to lose him.
“Let me as a government representing the good people of Rivers State commend this school. “I know when I leave here, there might be a few interpretations of attending this graduation but the truth remains that I wanted a better standard than what we had at that time.
“This school was recommended and I can say that when I changed my children to Green Oak, I noticed a lot of improvement.
“As the only legacy you have is quality children, even if you have the whole houses in the world, and have all the money, it amounts to nothing when you don’t have a worthy successor.
“What I owe them is the best and if the best is sending them to school that I believe in their skills, I do not owe anybody an apology for that. So, I thank you for what you’re doing. Don’t lower the bar
