The Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, has shared its plans to support the development of infrastructure in universities and polytechnics across the Niger Delta.
The Chairman of the NDDC Governing Board, Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba stated this recently.
According to him, the youth must be skilled, motivated, educated and empowered. “If the youth are not properly educated, skilled or motivated, rather than be a blessing to the society, they become a curse,” he noted.
He added that: “We are concerned that our youth must remain a resource and not a curse to our region. That is why we are partnering with universities and higher institutions in the Niger Delta region to educate and produce some of the best minds the country will have to offer.”
He also asked the Commission for a massive expansion, stating that UNICAL was the only 2nd Generation University without an Engineering faculty.
