DELTA State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has charged newly inaugurated members of the Governing Council of Delta State University (DELSU), Abraka, to discharge their responsibilities with integrity, diligence and a deep sense of commitment, saying effective governance remains key to strengthening the institution’s standing as a leading centre of academic excellence in Nigeria and beyond.
Speaking during the inauguration of Festus Agas, Frank Enekorogha and Charles Ajuyah (SAN) as members of the institution’s Governing Council, Oborevwori described the ceremony as significant, despite his tight schedule, noting that the Council plays a central role in the effective governance of any university through policy direction and oversight.
He said the appointment of the new members came at an auspicious time, as DELSU continues to strengthen its position as a leading centre of higher learning in Nigeria and beyond, adding that his administration had consistently appointed men and women of proven integrity, experience and distinction into the governing councils of tertiary institutions in the state.
The said the three appointees have distinguished themselves in public service and leadership, making them eminently qualified for the responsibility entrusted to them, noting: “As members of the Governing Council, you carry the aspirations of thousands of students, staff, alumni and the entire people of Delta State.
“Your decisions will shape policies, influence academic direction and define the future of this great university for generations to come.”
While urging them to serve with transparency and commitment, as their decisions would have lasting impact on lives and the future of the institution, the governor expressed confidence that their wealth of experience would help DELSU continue to produce graduates who are academically sound, morally upright and socially responsible.
Responding on behalf of others, Agas expressed gratitude to God and the Delta State Government for the opportunity to serve, describing the appointment as a great honour and a call to service.
Agas assured the governor that the Council members would work harmoniously with the vice chancellor and university management to add value to the iuniversity’s administration and advance its mission.
He commended Oborevwori’s leadership, particularly the cordial relationship among the arms of government in the state, which he said had translated into remarkable achievements within two and a half years.
