Fubara Awards Scholarships, Reopens Bonny Grammar School

On [date not specified], Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara awarded full scholarships to members of Team Rivers, who won the National Inter-Schools Debate Championship. This announcement was made during the inauguration of the newly reconstructed Bonny National Grammar School in Bonny.

Fubara reaffirmed his administration's commitment to education and youth development, stating that education is the state's most critical investment for the future. He noted that this was the first time in over 20 years that a state government had inaugurated a completed project in Bonny, marking a shift from mere promises to actual delivery.

The governor linked the investment in education to Bonny's economic significance, particularly in the oil and gas sector, and acknowledged the contributions of the federal government through the Bonny-Bodo Road project. The event was attended by King Edward William Asimini Dappa Pepple III, who described the reopening of the school as a restoration of an important educational legacy.
