Deputy President of the Senate and Delta State APC governorship candidate for the 2023 election, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege has vowed to review all obnoxious, callous and insensitive policies which the outgoing Governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, had heaped as burden on Deltans, in the past 7 years.

In a statement signed by the Director, Communication and Media Strategy, Omo-Agege Campaign Organization, Mr. I’ma Niboro, the Deputy President of the Senate also chided the governor for making life more difficult for Deltans by hiking the fees payable by students in the State-owned tertiary institutions.

According to the Senator representing Delta Central in the Red Chamber of the National Assembly, it was not only callous, but a blatant demonstration of high level insensitivity to the plight of parents and guardians for the governor to approve a hike in the fees of State-owned tertiary institutions in the State.

While lamenting the burden Gov Okowa has placed on the already-pauperized average Deltans, Omo-Agege vowed to review downward, the fees payable in all State-owned tertiary institutions and other obnoxious policies which Okowa has put in place, as soon as he becomes the governor in 2023, assuring further that his administration would have a human race.

Omo-Agege further assured that his administration which is going to be anchored on an ‘EDGE’ (Employment and Empowerment, Development, Good Governance and Enduring peace and security (EDGE) mantra, would remove economic hardship, make education easily affordable as well as address all obnoxious policies which Okowa has imposed on hapless Deltans in the past 8 years.

“Some parents are living from hand to mouth, they struggle to send their children to school. Others are living in abject penury because of the refusal of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa to pay pensioners.

“Increasing school fees at this time is not only callous but insensitive, especially when some students are training themselves. They have resorted to begging and many who were offered admission failed to report for studies due to inability to pay the exorbitant school fees.

“Without a doubt, public higher institutions in the state are populated by mostly children of low income earners, peasant farmers, petty traders, civil servants and senior citizens yet to receive their gratuities and pensions.

“These institutions are the only hope of educating their children as they cannot cope with the outrageous fees in private higher institutions,” he said.

The APC governorship candidate therefore vowed to review tuition fees in all the state tertiary institutions as one of his first order of duties after he is sworn in as the elected governor of the state.
