Amaechi, who used the occasion to fulfill his promise of giving financial help to the families of the Naval Officers who lost their lives during a recent naval helicopter crash at Isiokpo, lauded the NOWA for its initiative to build a model primary school in Port Harcourt.
He promised that Rivers State Government would deliver 40 computers to the school, pointing out that the computers would contain programmes capable of teaching the pupils their subjects, adding that the state would send specially trained teachers to train the teachers of the school who would then teach their pupils.
