Former minister of Transportation, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Amaechi has dedicated an award to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Barr. Nyesom Wike for not abandoning the College of Medical Sciences of the Rivers State University (RSU) when he served as governor of the state.
The former Minister of Transportation under former President Muhammadu Buhari had initiated the College project during his tenure as governor of the state, but could not complete it before the end of his tenure in 2015.
The Wike-led administration continued with the project until 2018 when the college matriculated its first set of medical students.
Amaechi dedicated the award on Thursday in Port Hart Harcourt, where he also commended Wike for not abandoning the college.
The management of the college gave the award of appreciation to Amechi during the induction of the first set of medical graduates into the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN).
The award was in recognition of the former minister’s contributions to the development of education in the University and as the initiator of the College of Medical Sciences during his tenure as governor.
