I’m writing to you with a bleeding heart on behalf of the relentless and dogged lieutenants of Izanzan Intellectual over the unjustifiable closure of the Okoloba Maritime Science and Technical College, Bomadi LGA, Delta State.
In respect of the closure of the school, we have done well to forward letter and confirmed delivered through your respective aids to you all as political leaders of the constituency where the school is sited, yet no response from your end. To a level we felt that we are no longer important as your constituents since elections has come and gone, the peoples general well-being is no longer your concerns.
We have over the time raised our voices against the total oppression meted on the Ijaw people and we shall continue to do so until the very day we leave this world. We have no better cause other than to fight for our people and we are ready to lay down our lives for this struggle. Therefore, this letter is born out of provocation and for a justifiable reasons especially your muteness over the closure of the school.
Having said the above, the bone of contention in this open letter is to once again unequivocally call on your attention to use your political influence and powers to call for the reopening and sufficient funding of the school which will help revive the lost educational hope and happiness of our people in the coastal areas.
The unjustifiable closure of the only school science and technical college in the riverine area ought to be your priority concern for a reason being that it’s your sole responsibility as a legislator to always take to the National and State Assembly the complains of the people to allay their fears.
You must have known by now that, the closure of the school has truncated the educational consciousness of your primary constituents of which you are expected to rise up against the educational injustice meted against your people in the house, but if you so decided to continue keep mute over the closure of the school, we might have no option than to reckon your leadership as an “otherwise”.
Yes of course, your respective strategic role played for the attainment of the only federal maritime university in the riverine area cannot be overemphasized, yet you must act now proactively to reopen and sufficient funding of the Okoloba Maritime College to rejuvenate the educational consciousness of your primary constituents and Ijaw Nation at large before it is too late.
In as much members of Izanzan Camp remain resolute in our positions, just as we will continue to use the little intellectual resource at our disposal to fight for the rights and equitable treatment of our people in the Nigeria oppression society. We so deeply urge you all as our leaders to do the same at the state and national level.
On a conclusive note, it’s pertinent to let you know that members of Izanzan Camp are not well pleased with the way and manner Ijaw Nation is treated developmentally and otherwise and your proactiveness in the respective chambers will help to relax our angers else our actions and inactions in the coming days might not be friendly to you as we are not afraid to be jail for fighting for a just course.
Yours respectfully,
Amb Arerebo Yerinmene Salaco Jnr,
