Fubara, represented by the education commissioner, Dr Ovy Obi-Chukwuma, said 70 per cent of the students are from Rivers State while 30 percent are non-indigenes residing in the state.

The governor expressed hope that Wigwe University will make a significant impact in the state and beyond and called on the management to ensure that the founder’s dream does not die.

He stated that the state government is deeply committed to the development of the university due to the administration’s strong belief in education.
