The Delta State Governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, has promised to empower 50 best graduating students of the Delta State Polytechnic, Ozoro.
The Governor made this promise while inaugurating the Governing Council of the Delta State Polytechnic, Ozoro.
He observed that the current educational system where graduates come out looking to the government or the few available private enterprises for gainful employment was wrong.
He challenged polytechnic lecturers to put emphasis on multi-disciplinary research and practical life skills to ensure that polytechnic graduates can be self-employed.
He also asked them to pay attention to improved curriculum and quality of teaching so as to equip their products with the requisite mindset and knowledge to excel in today’s rapidly changing world.
The board is made up of Rt. Hon. Funkekeme Solomon as the Chairman, Hon. Joe Adigwe, Hon. Gabriel Alebe and Mrs Oti Agoba as members of the Council.
Responding on behalf of members of the Council, Hon. Solomon thanked Governor Okowa, gave the assurance that they would carry out their functions diligently.
