The students of former Delta State Polytechnic Ozoro, engaged in a ‘sweep out’ parade on Tuesday, August 17, to celebrate the exit of their Rector, Professor Job Orienru Akpodiete.
In a viral video shared online, some of the students were seen with brooms sweeping the school gate, chanting happily while they swept ‘dirt’ onto the tarred road.
This is following the recent upgrade of the polytechnic to the Delta State University of Science and Technology, Ozoro.
Recall that the Delta State Government had disclosed plans to convert College of Education, Agbor, to Delta State University of Education, Agbor, Delta State University, Anwai Campus, to Delta State University of Science and Agriculture, Anwai and Delta State Polytechnic Ozoro, to Delta State University of Science and Technology, Ozoro.
The proposed upgrade was announced by the state Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa in separate Bills to the state house of assembly which were read on the floor by the Speaker, Sheriff Oborevwori, during plenary in March 2021.
