Ashibogwu stated that the State Government had gone beyond what ASUU was suffering nation wide, emphasising that Delta State Universities’ staff are not complaining of salary payments or subvention and that the same should be applicable to the Polytechnics in the state.
“Put your fears aside on the issue of subvention and pension and I assure you that your demands, if not all, most of them would be attended to,” he said.
Earlier, the Rector of Delta State Polytechnic, Ogwashi-uku, Prof. Emmanuel Achuenu stated that the institution had recorded tremendous achievements in terms of administration, physical developments and restoration of peace to the campus for teaching and learning.
