"WE WILL NOT COMPROMISE QUALITATIVE AND COMPETITIVE EDUCATION," SAYS GOVERNOR OKOWA

The Governor of Delta State, Senator, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa has said his administration will not compromise on qualitative and competitive education, as an educated population is prerequisite for productivity and economic growth.
The Governor gave the assurance at the weekend when he graced the First convocation ceremony of the Delta State College of Physical Education, Mosogar, Delta State as the Visitor to the institution.
According to Governor Okowa, "the delivery of quality, competitive education is one of the cardinal programmes of our S.M.A.R.T agenda because, the goal of this administration is to ensure that every citizen is provided the opportunity to acquire the knowledge and skills required to be successful in life."
While congratulating the graduates who were conferred with Nigerian Certificate of Education (NCE), Governor Okowa disclosed that teachers have a lot of roles to play in making the society better. "A teacher does not just mould the child, he moulds the society, hence, great care must be paid to your (teacher's) private and public conduct, utterances and lifestyle choices," Governor Okowa said.
He pointed out that a corrupt teacher carries a very destructive influence on the child and society at large. "There is no gain saying the fact that some of our most influential role models in life are teachers; many of us have fond memories of our teachers, decades after we left school; their impact on our lives is so strong, many times we see life through their teachings and destiny shaping words." 
The Governor challenged the graduates to always improve on themselves, saying, "graduating does not mean that learning has come to an end; it means that you are now responsible for your own learning, the day you stop learning, you start dying and you must make it a priority to regularly update and upgrade your knowledge and skills for greater output, impact and effectiveness."

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...
