Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State has charged the university’s authorities in the state to ensure that students were trained in entrepreneurship studies.
Okowa who gave the charge at the Founders’ Day Celebration of the University of Delta, Agbor, said that the new university had justified its establishment by admitting no fewer than 5,219 students since it began academic activities in the 2022/2023 academic session.
He said he was happy that the three new universities had justified their establishment by bridging the gaps in university admission and making it cheaper and closer to Deltans.
Okowa said, “I want to appeal to the university’s authorities to train these students in entrepreneurship studies and engaged them in research and consultancy services as a means of generating funding for the university.
“For the students, I implore you to exhibit the highest sense of responsibility and patriotism.’’
