DSUST: Moving Administration, Management Faculties To Orerokpe, Inappropriate –Macaulay

Former Secretary to Delta State Government and Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in the state, Comrade (Chief) Ovuozourie Samuel Macaulay, the Okiroro of Isoko Nation has condemned the signing out of the Administration and Management Faculties from Delta State University of Science and Technology, Ozoro and moved to Orerokpe, to be known as Delta State University of Science and Technology, Orerokpe Campus.

Macaulay made the remark on Monday in a statement he issued to journalists across the state, stressing that, the sign out of those strategic departments by the Board of Governing Council of the University was needless and most inappropriate.

He noted that, “Delta University of Science and Technology, Ozoro is the only viable higher institution in Delta South Senatorial District.

Signing out the Administration and Management Faculties from the University and  moved to Orerokpe, to be known as Delta State University of Science and Technology, Orerokpe Campus is an invitation to ethnic crisis, he added. 

“The decision to dismember our Delta State University of Science and Technology, Ozoro is an assault on our common sensibilities. This will adversely affect and have incalculable damage on students of  University.

“If you want to destroy a nation, you don’t need bayonet, bombs or nuclear warheads. All you need is to destroy the education of the nation. This act is capable of destroying the education of the Students of the University. No one should play politics with the future of our children with his/her act of favouritism.

“It will be better to reverse the institution back to it original status as a Polytechnic than turning it into a glorified University that will not provide the expected benefits to the people,” Macaulay advised.
