Belema Indigenous Oil Company, operator of Oil Mining Lease OML 25 on Sunday called for the declaration of the state of emergency in the education sector, saying there is a need for total overhauling. Jack-Rich Tein, made the call on Sunday in a closing ceremony of the Founder’s Day 20th Anniversary organised by Archdeacon Brown Education Centre, ABEC Group of Schools in Port Harcourt. “Insecurity talks about our today’s existence, our problem in educational sector talks about our future. “We also don’t have a future, so I think as much as everybody is clamouring about state of emergency in security sector, we should also clamour for state of emergency in our educational sector because a lot needs to be done looking at the percentage of the 2020 budget voted for educational sector,” he said. He commended ABEC Group of Schools for its standard commitment in education, promised to equip the school diagnostic centre and support the school through Belema Oil education scholarship programme.
