Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State has expressed concern over the
continued request for more tertiary institutions in the state. Gov. Okowa
The governor who raised the issue during a question and answer
session at a two-day Delta State Education Summit, demanded to know how
best to go about establishing new tertiary institutions, when funding of
the existing ones was already a big challenge in government’s
determination to provide quality education for the people.
Governor Okowa informed the guest speakers and participants at the
summit that the state presently grapples with a university with three
campuses, seven polytechnics and three colleges of education and yet
there were demands by communities and others for more higher
institutions.
Earlier, while declaring the summit open, the governor said that his
administration was out to provide the best education available for
Deltans with emphasis on science, vocational and technical education. He
stressed the need for the three tiers of government to engage in
aggressive and accelerated internal revenue drive in view of the
dwindling price of oil.
