He said, “As part of efforts to boost technical education in the state, we will upgrade the vocational school in Uzebba to a technical college. The vocational school built by the former President Goodluck Jonathan-led administration will be upgraded to a technical college.
“This is homecoming for me because Uzebba is my home; I am ashamed to discover that we don’t have water in Uzebba and yet you have representatives in Abuja. I am going to ensure that my administration provides water for our people in Uzebba.”
Leader of PDP in wards 9 and 10, Barr. Adelaja Ogun, commended the governor for his administration’s investment in education and other sectors of the state, noting: “A vocational centre was built by former President Goodluck Jonathan but it is yet to be commissioned and put into use. We call on you to please come to our aid and make the school functional.”
On his part, Chairman of Owan West Local Government Area, Frank Ilaboya, applauded the governor’s developmental strides across all sectors of the state, which he said had positively impacted on the lives of the people.
