Rivers State Governor Siminialayi Fubara has succumbed to pressure by the State House of Assembly led by Martins Amaewhule over the condition of public schools in the state.
The State Assembly had, during its plenary, penultimate Thursday, expressed displeasure over the condition of secondary and primary schools in the state.
But on Monday, Fubara countered the lawmakers, noting that the decay in public schools did not start with his administration.
However, the governor, on Tuesday, ordered the immediate recall of 1,000 teachers whom the government employed in 2023.
