Communities in Gbaramatu kingdom in Warri South West Local Government Area of Delta State, host to the Nigerian Maritime University, have appealed to the Federal Government to fast track resumption of academic activities in the university.
The chairman of Kokodiagbene community, Gbaramatu Kingdom, Comrade Sheriff Mulade, who spoke on behalf of the Chairmen of Gbararmatu communities, said that the takeoff of the Maritime University had been delayed for too long.
He implored the Federal Government to fulfil its promise and do the needful and calm frayed nerves without further delay.
He expressed disappointment over the way and manner in which the Federal Government was handling the take-off of the university at Okerenkoko in spite of annoucement that N2 billion had been earmarked as take-off grant.
Comrade Mulade added that the people of the Niger Delta were losing trust and confidence in the Federal Government for not showing enough commitment to the promises it made to the people on the smooth take-off of the university.
While reiterating that Okerenkoko community remained the original land owner of the Nigerian Maritime University, he appealed to the government to expedite action on the take-off of the university.
