----as school management to partners with corporate bodies
The Isoko Economic Submit Group led by its
Chairman, Sir Ayodele Oghogho Othihiwa recently paid a fact finding visit to
the Delta State government owned Ofagbe Technical College (OTC) as part of its
mandate on capacity building drive.
Accompany by Uman team and the President
General of Isoko Development Union IDU. Chief Iduh Amadhe, the Chairman and his
group did a comprehensive tour of the expansion facilities of the college with
the school principal Mr. Ossai Jethro Chukuta on hand to guide the visitors
around.
Speaking after the tour the team leader Sir,
Othihiwa expressed satisfaction with the quality and quantity of the state of
the art equipment and machineries at the workshops and opined that the school
can generate funds internally by utilizing the equipment commercially to serve
the interest of the public. The Chairman however frowned at the low enrollment
level at the college and called for a radical change to address the situation
so that the huge investment can be put to maximum use.
The school principal, Ossai Chukuta who is
just about a week old in office as at the time of visit, he disclosed that the
school was ready to partner with individuals and corporate bodies to increase
the school intake to take advantage of the standard facilities available in the
school. Mr. Chukuta however, condemned the attitude of some Nigerians who do not
believe in vocational education but rather send their children to university
where they end up queuing for non-available jobs after graduation. But for
those who obtain vocational skills the principal stated, they will not seek
employment after graduation because their craft will always be needed by the
society at large.
On the fees charged by the school, the
principal stressed that OTC do not charged fees, rather, apart from the entry
form that cost N2,000 only, it is only the boarding house students that
pay N5,000 for their feeding per team.
Reacting after the tour, Chief Iduh Amadhe,
the IDU president General also expressed satisfaction with the facilities
available in OTC and declared that the IDU has designed a template for 51
youths on scholarship to study various vocation at OCT.
Both the IDU helmsman and the submit group
boss expressed their gratitude to the Delta State government for the full
reaction to avail themselves of the training facilities at the college to curb
unemployment they also called on investors to make Isoko land a place of
destination as the area was richly endowed with numerous natural and human
resources.
