DELTA TO TRAIN 150 YOUTHS AT NAVY ENGINEERING COLLEGE AS UDUAGHAN CASTIGATES THOSE CALLING FOR ITS RELOCATION GOVERNOR EMMANUEL UDUAGHAN (LEFT) WITH COMMANDANT, NIGERIAN NAVY ENGINEERING COLLEGE, SAPELE, REAR ADMIRAL THOMAS LOKOSON, DURING A COURTESY VISIT AT GOVERNMENT HOUSE, ASABA. Delta State Governor, Dr, Emmanuel Uduaghan has disclosed that the state plans to train 150 youths at the Nigerian Navy College of Engineering, Sapele, just as he castigated those who he said have been clamouring for the relocation of the school. Dr. Uduaghan who disclosed this in Asaba while playing host to the Commandant of the Navy School of Engineering Rear Admiral Thomas J. Lokoson paid him a courtesy call in Asaba, said the youths to benefit from the training have been interviewed and selected, adding that provision has been made in this year’s budget for the training programme and promised that it would be a continuous exercise. While saying that his administration will continue to redirect the energy of the youths from violence to meaningful ventures especially on projects that will alter their lives and improve their living standard, Governor Uduaghan said “people are insinuating that there is no sea port in the State and as such the college of engineering should be relocated. Don’t let this disturb you and please inform your Chief of Naval Staff that the Navy is assisting the State a lot. We do not want the college relocated.” Dr. Uduaghan said that no state in the Federation has the kind of naval formation Delta has and frowned at the insinuation that the State has no sea port. He therefore urged the commandant to dismiss such speculations and resist the move to relocate the college. The Governor commended the Navy for assisting in ensuring peace and security in the state and urged the Commandant to cooperate with the state government in the present programme. “I know the strategic role the Navy is playing and apart from the school, it is doing a lot of security job. This school will help our youth to acquire skills and we shall utilize it,” he said. Speaking earlier, Rear Admiral Thomas. J. Lokoson said the school has so far trained 150 youths in the country, adding that the College has the capacity to train middle and low level manpower. He invited Delta State to take advantage of the location of the school and benefit from the skill acquisition programmes in the college. The commandant also disclosed that the college has many experts and uses them to assist in improving the manpower needs of the nation. Rear Admiral Lokoson appealed to the Governor to continue to assist the college to enable it meet its mandate.    Recent Events WHEN CHIEF GODSWILL OBIELUM, NDOKWA NATION HOSTED AND ENDORSED GOVERNOR EMMANUEL UDUAGHAN FOR 2011, AT THE KWALE TOWNSHIP STADIUM, ON SATURDAY, JULY 3, 2010.
