Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, on Friday, said a proposition to establish a law school in Rivers State was denied by the administration of his predecessor, Rotimi Amaechi, IgbereTV reports
Wike served under Amaechi as Chief of Staff between 2007 and 2011. The two have since fallen out politically with Amaechi joining the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2013 and his successor remaining in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The governor spoke at the commissioning of the new Dr. Nabo Graham Douglas Campus of the Nigerian Law School in Rumueme, Port Harcourt as part of a week-long unveiling of legacy projects with six months to the end of the governor’s two-term administration.
“I remember when I was chief of staff, the law school that is in Bayelsa today was to come to Rivers but the government at that time said no. They were not willing to have a law school campus in Port Harcourt,” Wike said
