The Member representing Ughelli North, Ughelli South and Udu Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Rt Hon Francis Ejiroghene Waive has expressed dismay over gross marginalisation of Delta State in the recent composition of Governing Councils of tertiary institutions in the country.
In a letter addressed to the Honourable Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, Waive who is Chairman House Committee on Rules and Business, said out of a total available 560 positions only four was allocated to Delta State while his Constituency and the Delta Central Senatorial District were completely left out.
The letter dated June 15, 2024 and titled “COMPLAINT ON GROSS MARGINALIZATION OF DELTA STATE IN COMPOSITION OF COUNCILS OF TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS” read:
“I write on behalf of my Constituents and indeed our Senatorial District that was completely left out in the recent composition of Governing Councils of Tertiary Institutions in the Country.
“The constitutional requirement of Federal Character was completely ignored as Delta State got only four out of the 560 positions from among the thirty six States.
“Indeed my Constituency and our Senatorial District was completely left out among 109 Senatorial Districts and 360 Federal Constituencies in the Country.
