Delta state governor Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan has charged students of tertiary institutions in the state to turn out emmass and participate in voting during the April elections so that they will have a voice in determing who represents them.
Dr Uduaghan who gave the charge when students of Delta state university paid him a solidarity visit urged them to see themselves as role models who could champion credible elections in the country.
The governor who was at the cenotaph to inspect preparations for the President’s campaign visit told them, that as future leaders in the country they should see that their votes count especially as democracy was a game of number.
His words “you should all vote during the coming elections. It is important that you should vote because your vote will help to determine who represents you”.
The governor enjoined them to shun cultism even as he said that cultism has dealt fatal blow to academic excellence in Schools.
Dr Uduaghan also attributed the decay in the social system and the rot in the university community to cultism.
He said for peace and tranquility to reign permanently in tertiary institutions students must renounce cultism.
The governor promised that the state government will continue to make effort towards creating employment opportunities for graduates in the state.
Dr Uduaghan who said his administration will establish more industries in the near future enjoined them to be orderly at all times.
Speaking on behalf of the students Mr. Odion Odafe pledged their support for Governor Uduaghan’s gubernatorial race.
Mr. Odafe said Dr Uduaghan’s programme on education was impressive and promised to mobilize support for him to enable him continue his good works.
He commended the governor for the achievements he recorded on other sectors of the economy.
