Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa has come out to say that his government will provide facilities for new varsities take off.

He recently disclosed this while inspecting ongoing projects at the new Dennis Osadebe University, Asaba.

According to him, he would do everything humanly possible in the remaining two years of his administration for the universities to operate all approved courses by the National Universities Commission (NUC).

He added that contractors handling the projects should redouble their efforts because his administration is in a hurry to leave lasting legacies in the state, including the education sector.

His words, “I believe that we are on course because we don’t need to have all the facilities fully, but at least when they come in, they need to see a progress and then they will come back to site to see what we are doing.”

“In the Faculty of Environmental Science, where we are now, with the main building, the classroom blocks and offices, with auditoriums on two sides and what we also saw in the Faculty of Agriculture, you can find that we are progressing.”

“In the first year, we won’t be admitting into all the courses but some courses have been approved for admission and I believe that the two buildings in the Faculty of Environmental Science will definitely be completed by the end of September, 2021.”

“That of Faculty of Agriculture will most likely be completed next year; so the good thing is that they have places to start from.”

“There are other structures that are existing in the campus that we are going to put under construction to enable them complete before September ending.”

“Next year, I will have to apply a lot of funds to the three universities. I intend to visit the University of Science and Technology, Ozoro, and on Thursday, I will be at University of Delta, Agbor.”
