Take your studies seriously and shun social vices like cultism. He advises that the best gift to any child from his/her parents is good education and stressed that they should embrace quality education for themselves while in school, adding, as promising students, the ball is in your courts to do the needful”.
He noted that Ika nation at the moment is blessed with the emergence of one of her illustrious sons, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Okowa as the executive governor of Delta State, noting, “Governor Okowa needs your maximum support to successfully deliver his SMART and Prosperity Agenda to all Deltans. Okowa is strongly committed to your well-being and success in life; hence, you should use your positions as student leaders to help propagate the achievements of the Okowa’s government. Your support for Okowa is a support for you today and tomorrow”.
Speaking further, Dr Chukwuma Nwaonicha said that Governor Okowa has since his assumption of office recorded remarkable successes in different sectors of the economy. Every local government in the state has good testimonies of the Okowa’s government. Okowa’s achievements despite the economic crunch in the country even transcend the most remote community in the state. I am glad to announce to you that the state government has several packages for her students in the areas of skill acquisition, bursary and educational grants. You stand to benefit from any of these packages once you are qualified. Okowa’s administration is out to better the lives of every Deltan, so let us support him wholeheartedly to enable him achieve this lofty vision.
