Okowa challenges universities to produce graduates fit for self-reliance

Published by

Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State has challenged Nigerian universities to produce graduates who will be fit largely for self-employment.

The governor made the call last Sunday at a reception organised in honour of the vice chancellor of Delta State University (DELSU), Abraka, Professor Andy Egwuyenga, on the university’s premises.

According to him, graduates of Nigerian universities should not only compete favourably with their peers in the world; they should also be innovative in creating jobs.

He congratulated Egwunyenga on his emergence as the vice chancellor of the institution, saying “I must appreciate all of you for the solidarity and I congratulate you on your emergence as the vice chancellor of DELSU.

“I am aware that you understand the level of challenges on your table; work to ensure that students who graduate from the university gainfully employ themselves and are innovative.”

For the vice chancellor to succeed he encouraged the academic and the non-academic staff to cooperate with him.

In his speech earlier, the vice chancellor had said that the thanksgiving was to appreciate God for his appointment.
