A former national president, Ijaw Youths Council, IYC, and Niger-Delta activist, Dr Chris Ekiyor, has implored Delta State Governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, to revisit his plan to upgrade some academic institutions in parts of the state to university status by including Ijaw in the initiative.
Dr. Ekiyor, a one-time Commissioner for Commerce and Industry in the state told Vanguard: “Including Ijaw in the plan will give the ethnic race a sense of belonging and afford the people opportunity to be educated.”
His words: “I join my voice with those demanding that Ijaw be considered for one of the proposed universities and I make particular reference to the Polytechnic in Burutu which can be upgraded like others .”
