He said: “What I  saw at the Rivers State School of Public Health Nursing is quite disappointing . The environment  of the  school is very unkempt and the buildings  are in bad condition. 

“We will revive and rehabilitate the School of Public Health Nursing and bring the school up to the standard  needed to train nurses”.

Also on Tuesday, Governor Wike inspected  ongoing work at the Rumuokoro Market and Bus Park in Obio/Akpor  Local Government Area.

In an interview with newsmen, Senator Representing Rivers East Senatorial District, Senator George Thompson Sekibo said that Governor Wike  is recreating Rivers State  through  well planned projects.
