Rivers State Governor Sim Fubara has announced that the recently approved Federal University of Environment and Technology in Ogoniland by President Bola Tinubu, will begin operations in the Kira Campus of the Rivers State University (RSU).
Governor Fubara announced the approval when he visited the Kira Campus of RSU to assess the condition of the existing facilities and structures in Tai Local Government Area on Thursday.
According to him, the existing structures, recently renovated by the RSU authority and the vast land available will sufficiently serve to accommodate and ease the process of take-off of actual learning activities at the Federal University of Environment and Technology.
Governor Fubara explained that his visit to the Kira Campus of RSU was necessitated by the request from the Office of National Security Adviser to his Office to consider and approve the campus for the take off of the new Federal University.
“This is one of the campuses of the Rivers State University, and we got a request from the National Security Adviser, appealing to the State Government to release this facility for the take-off of the just approved University of Environment and Technology to Rivers people, more especially the Ogoni people because it is sited in Kira, in Ogoniland.”
“They have already given us a written information, but I felt it is proper for us to come and do physical assessment, and that is what we just did. From what we are seeing, it is a well-planned place, and I strongly believe that it is suitable for the take- off of this university,” he said.
