Amaechi<\/a> said going back to pursue a fresh degree in Law at the age of 57 was normal to him, saying he merely achieved what he had wanted a long time ago.<\/p>\nThe the former Rivers State governor, said he actually worked hard for the Law degree certificate contrary to claims in some quarters that he bought it.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cGoing back to obtain a Law degree at 57 is normal. I should have graduated a long time ago. When I hear people say I bought a degree, I just laugh. I laugh because until I started campaigning for presidency I never missed a class. So for three years and six months, I never missed a class. And I came before all the lecturers and I came before all the students.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe school gave me an award for being diligent and punctual. I never failed any course work. But that\u2019s not important, what is important is that I wrote all my course work in person, so they can\u2019t say lecturers passed me.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd in Baze University, we don\u2019t write matriculation numbers or our names, they give you a barcode which you place on the answer sheet. So when the teachers mark, they mark what is called blind marking and they can\u2019t take it home. They mark it there in the school, if they can\u2019t finish, they leave it there and come back the next day. When they come the next day, they continue. And as they are marking, they mark with a barcode so they don\u2019t know the name of the person or the matriculation number and I don\u2019t think they are handwriting experts.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet me give you an instance. I scored 69 percent in Jurisprudence which was a B grade. The person who taught me Jurisprudence was my supervisor in my long essay, I\u2019m sure if he had known that it was me, he would have added me one percent to make it 70. The whole faculty was like \u201coh, no, he should have added you one percent to make it 70.\u201d<\/p>\n
Asked about his inspiration to pursue the course, Chief Rotimi Amaechi explained: \u201cFirst and foremost, it was to fulfill my father\u2019s wish that I read Law. At least, I have satisfied his wish and he would have been happy if he was alive.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was in love with the work of Chief Rotimi Williams who was one of the best lawyers then and felt I should be like him.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I got the admission, I started asking myself how would I cope with my work. I would go to school as early as 8 am and report to work by 6 pm. I would work from 6 pm to 11 pm and sometimes 11:30 pm then I go home. I did that on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. Wednesdays were cabinet meetings. I worked Wednesdays and Fridays. \u201c<\/p>\n
Asked if he would go to Law School, he said: \u201cYes, I think so. I may go to Law School. I\u2019m already doing a Masters degree in Corporate and Company Law at Kings College, London. I hope to combine it with Law School.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t intend to practice but to have the knowledge of Law and the certificate.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is to help me not to make some mistakes. There is no excuse in law. So they are some things you can\u2019t know except you read Law.
\nAmaechi while admitting that he refused to fund the establishment of Law School in the state while he held sway as the governor, faulted his successor for committing the state\u2019s money to the project which he described as the federal government\u2019s responsibility.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, it\u2019s true. I asked them when they brought the proposal, I asked them would the federal government fund it and they said no. I\u2019m not a father Christmas. I said primary schools in Rivers State are not functioning, secondary schools are not functioning and I would go and build a law school for government as big as the federal government? I told them that I have a land and here\u2019s the land and they said no. So, I don\u2019t know why that is an achievement for a man whose primary and secondary schools are not functioning and whose teachers are not paid.<\/p>\n
“By the time I did an audit of education in Rivers State, we trained 90,000 teachers and I employed 13,200. So that money that he used in building law school would have been used to employ more teachers.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a federal government responsibility. I told them I was not interested but I would give them the land. So the money spent there could have been used in building more schools, employing more teachers and training them. Like out of the 13,200 teachers we employed, only 3000 were teachers, the other 10,000 were people who were just looking for jobs and we employed them and took them to Rivers State University of Education to train them for six months.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo that money that you are investing in a big federal government project, you should have used it to employ more teachers, build more schools and create more jobs for our people. Rivers State has the highest number of unemployment,\u201d he added<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
