Following the heated debate and anger in Delta State over Governor Sheriff Oborevwori's plans for the Delta State College of Science and Know-how (DELSUST), Ozoro, a involved Deltan and oil and fuel knowledgeable, Dr. Jerome Asedegbega, suggested the governor to think about extra productive methods to reward his Orerokpe neighborhood than with a college.
As an alternative, the governor has been suggested to ascertain an industrial heart in Okpe Kingdom that might soak up 1000’s of college and polytechnic graduates whereas present establishments would stay within the state, noting that “the place there’s a lack of innovation and inventive considering, one would count on this type of hasty and bitter determination” so as to add one other greater establishment.
It will likely be recalled that three new universities had been established by the Ifeanyi Okowa administration in Ozoro, Agbor and Asaba along with the previous one in Abraka, thus creating 4 universities and three state schools. Oborevwori desires to maneuver the School of Administration Sciences from Ozoro to Orerokpe out of political opportunism.
Asedegbega mentioned: “The governor has the sources and powers to draw growth to his Orerokpe, Okpe kingdom, with out essentially fragmenting DELSUST and Ozoro. Has it ever occurred to you that universities littered throughout the state with out jobs to soak up the graduates they produce are ineffective and a waste of scarce sources? If that’s the case, my noble recommendation and proposal to the Governor is to transform the proposed college web site at Orerokpe into an industrial centre.”
