Martins Amaewhule, Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, has criticized the state government for failing to address the growing challenges in public education. Highlighting a worsening shortage of teachers and poor learning conditions, Amaewhule said many schools are struggling while government support remains inadequate.
In a video shared by Viable TV, he noted that plans by the previous administration to employ 10,000 workers, including teachers, were abandoned, leaving classrooms understaffed. He emphasized the irony of funds being readily released for protests, yet claimed unavailable when it comes to hiring teachers or improving schools.
Amaewhule described situations where a single teacher manages two classrooms simultaneously or where passersby are asked to assist with teaching due to the shortage. He labeled these conditions “embarrassing and unacceptable” for a state with significant resources.
The Assembly Speaker urged immediate government intervention to employ more teachers, improve learning environments, and restore dignity to education in Rivers State. “When it’s time for protests, funds will come for people to go and protest. When it’s time to employ teachers, and make teachers to be in the classroom, there will be no money,” he stated.
