Delta NLC hails Uduaghan over devt in education sector DELTA State Council of Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has commended the pragmatic initiatives by Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan of the state towards the development of the educational sector and ensuring that every child gets access to education in the state. Chairman of NLC, Mr. Williams Akporeha, spoke when he received the Students’ Union Government, SUG, of the Delta State University, DELSU, Abraka led by its President, Obaro Ohwojero, on a solidarity visit to Congress Leadership at the Labour House, Asaba. He said: “Our Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, has made education in Delta State a hitch-free journey towards the realisation of your future ambitions with the provision of free primary education, payment of NECO and WAEC fees and payment of undergraduate bursaries.” Commending the government on the introduction of EDUMARSHAL, Akporeha contended that the government was on the right direction towards setting a standard in Nigeria within the global quest for illiteracy reduction. He said: “I must say that the introduction of that programme by the state government will not only blaze the trail in the Federal Government’s effort on illiteracy reduction but also measure up to the provisions of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) as well as the United Nations Child Rights Act.” Akporeha insisted that the government had laid the tracks for students to secure their future with the provision of the post graduate overseas scholarship scheme, imploring students in the state to shun unnecessary distractions . He congratulated the DELSU SUG on its successful elections and inauguration in office and wished leaders fruitful and peaceful tenure. Earlier, President of the SUG, Obaro Ohwojero said they were in Labour House to identify with the state NLC under the leadership of Akporeha, whom they described as a man whose tenure had given voice to the voiceless and hope to the workers and masses in Delta state.
