NUC Approves Three New Universities in Delta State
The National Universities Commission (NUC) has approved the establishment of three (3) new universities in Delta State.
The approved universities are Delta State University Agbor; Delta State University of Science and Technology Ozoro and Denis Osadebe University, Asaba.
The approval was given by the Executive Secretary of NUC, Prof. Abubakar Rasheed, when the Delta State governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, led top state government officials to present strategic documents of the universities to the commission’s headquarters in Abuja.
The development has made Delta a state with the highest number of universities in the country, given that with the three approved universities in addition to the one already in existence, the state has four universities to its credit.
