While assuming office, the 14-year old Child Education Commissioner who is an SS1 student of the Ijaw National Academy, Kaiama, lauded the Governor for establishing world class free boarding secondary schools across the state.

Noel said the quality of school infrastructure provided by the present administration does not only give Bayelsa students a sense of pride but also serve as a source of encouragement for them to work harder.

Describing education as the foundation for any meaningful development, he identified lack of proper education and value orientation as the major cause for cultism, prostitution and other social vices in the country.

Speaking earlier, the Coordinator of the 2018 Essay Writing Competition, Michael Afenfia described the winners as excellent. He said they were selected by a crack team of impartial judges, using grammatical accuracy, diction, creativity, punctuation, knowledge of the subject matter among other criteria.
