Bayelsa State Commissioner Of Education Advice To Bayelsa Parents And Political Leaders

Hon. Jonathan Obuebite, Commissioner for Education

The Bayelsa State Commissioner for Education, Hon. Jonathan Robinson Obuebite has this as an advice to parents and political leaders in the state

Hear him:

 “It is my humble pleasure to call on parents especi­ally our mothers to consider the academic future of their children seriously. Invest your resources in the education of your children instead of buying wrappers and jewelry.

“Sacrifice for your children now. If it will take you to sell your wrappers and jewels, sell them and train your children in school. By the time they will come out as great men and women, they will buy you boxes of wrappers.

“And to our fathers, limit the number of children you give birth to. You should give birth to the number of children you can take care of. To our political leaders, consider other Bayelsa children and be responsible for at least one child. On that note, I declare to our leaders, ‘Operation Train One Child’.

Obuebite gave the advice while presenting his ministry’s achie­vements during the State Inter-Ministerial/Agency briefing at the Gabriel Okara Cultural Centre on Thursday.
