The Governor of Delta State governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa has called for a review of the curricula of tertiary institutions.
He made this call during the 10th Convocation Ceremony of the Delta State University, Abraka.
According to him, tertiary institutions should give more attention to raising entrepreneurial leaders, wealth creators and change agents in the society who would drive the much needed economic diversification.
In his words, “There is the need for a painstaking review of the curricula of our tertiary institutions with strong emphasis on skill acquisition, not certificate acquisition, and leadership development as against rote learning.

Change of Course for 2016 Candidate Set To Closing
We want to use this medium to inform all 2016 UTME candidates that based on previous experiences, the 2016 JAMB Change of Course and Institution may likely come to a close on Friday 29th, April 2016 and even if there’s going to be any extension, it may not be more than 1 week from the stated date.
We understand that many candidates are waiting to know the cut-off marks of their respective institutions before making the decision on whether or not to go for change of course and institution. However, many of this institution usually wait until announcing their post-UTME sales of forms to make known their cut-off marks.
If you wait that long, you may have only succeeded in putting yourself in an unfavourable position because change of course and institution would have been very much over by that time.
So what you should rather do is make your decision based on the previous Post-UTME cut off marks of these institutions and effect the necessary changes immediately.
Please DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE.
We have already helped many candidates to effect changes in their courses and institutions with 100% success rate. We can do that for you too. If you would like to make any changes, please click here to apply for change of course and or institution.
