This position of Governor was made available to us when the Honourable commissioner for education Hon. Tamunosisi Gogo Jaja, called all the home school chapter presidents and secretaries  for an emergency meeting his office today.

I urge all Rivers students to visit their local chapters from Tuesday next week to pick up the bursary form.
