Maiyaki made the commendation when he led the commission on a courtesy visit to the governor in Government House, Asaba.

NUC is vested by law with the vital and strategic responsibility of orderly development of university education, the general coordination and regulation of the sub-sector.

He thanked the governor for the sustainable funding and support extended to this University and indeed all other institutions of higher learning in Delta.

The Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori said the State Government placed a premium on education to keep students of the State on track and focused.

Welcoming the Commission to the state, Oborevwori thanked NUC for approving the three new universities for the state, saying the establishment of the new universities was well justified hence the House of Assembly he presided over then didn’t waste time in passing the bills.
