Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has approved the construction of a primary school at the location of the demolished Prodest Hotel in Eleme Local Government Area of the state.
This is as the state government also announced the death of a member of the Task Force on COVID-19, who was attacked at the hotel before it was demolished.
State Commissioner for Information and Communications, Paulinus Nsirim, told newsmen in Port Harcourt on Wednesday that the primary school would serve the people of the state better.
