Ph.D GRADUATE GETS N50m AND JOB OFFER FROM GOV WIKE

Lucky Ph.D. graduate, James Daniel gets N50m, job offer from Wike

For James E. Daniel, a student living with disability, the joy of bagging a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree was complimented with double blessing of a N50 million gift and offer of automatic lectureship appointment in Rivers State University on Saturday.

Governor Wike announced the N50 million reward and automatic lectureship appointment of Dr. Daniel during the 33rd convocation of the Rivers State University, Port Harcourt on Saturday.

The governor said the honour bestowed on Dr. Daniel is in recognition of his academic excellence and for being a source of inspiration to persons living with disabilities.

The Rivers State governor in his remark, directed the Governing Council and managements of state universities to sanitize their internal academic systems by stopping every inappropriate policy, practice or procedure that compromises the high quality academic standards required of tertiary institutions.

He added that from inception, the Rivers State University has been in the forefront of providing tertiary education and training to people of the State.

He observed that like the mustard seed, the university has grown from the little beginnings to become one of the largest and leading State government owned institutions in the country.

The governor, emphasised that serious universities jealously guard their reputation and award doctoral degrees only to students who have gone through years of rigorous intellectual research and interrogation and whose dissertation is independently adjudged to be sound and contributory to new learning.

He described as unfortunate, the current trend and practice in universities, including the Rivers State University, to award doctoral degrees indiscriminately, like chieftaincy titles, to all manner of questionable candidates.

This practice must stop in all Rivers State Government-owned tertiary institutions as we demand greater character, commitment and responsibility from staff and management to the vision and fundamental objectives of university education.

Man gets to positions of power and authority and bring to bear their inner qualities. Position, as we have it here, is used to do all sorts of things; good and bad. But mostly and vexatiously, position blinds us as we use it to cheat and deny others their rights. Certain men understand that position is an opportunity to etch their names in gold and put such in the same of time. It is exactly fifty years today that the 42nd Deji of Akure, late Oba Agunsoyebioyinbo Ademuagun Adesida 11 joined his ancestors. That fateful day was Sunday and in the evening; darkness was just enveloping the city.

I was looking for the "electric
