Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa state has released the sum of N200 million and ordered further release of the sum of N21 million to the management of Niger Delta University (NDU).
The governor made the disclosure when the acting Vice Chancellor (VC) of the university, Prof. Samuel Edoumiekumo, presented to him National University Commission’s (NUC) 2017 May/June Accreditation report in Yenagoa.
Dickson applauded the leadership of the state-owned university for securing full accreditation of 10 courses by the NUC.
Dickson said the state government had released the N200 million to enhance academic activities in the institution.
He said he had directed the VC to liaise with the state Ministry of Education for the release of the balance of N21 million.
“This government will spare no effort and resources, working with the university team, to ensure that NDU becomes one of the best universities in the country,” he said.
Dickson urged students seeking admission into universities in the country to consider NDU, adding that the state government would continue to support the school to enhance learning.
Earlier, while presenting the report, Edoumiekumo said the accreditation of the 10 programmes was a feat in the institution’s history.
According to him, some of the accredited courses are Law, Medical Laboratory Science and Mechanical Engineering.
