Southern Delta University, Ozoro Job Vacancies

Southern Delta University in Ozoro, not so far from Warri and a bit farther from Asaba, is calling for fresh academic hands. The place was set up in 2021 after the State House of Assembly gave the nod. The idea was simple, Delta had plenty of bright young people queuing up for higher education, so the government said, why not build more seats.

Now, the school says it needs more lecturers, from Assistant level all the way up to full Professor. If you have the training, the books, the teaching touch, this may be your cue.
