The National association of Delta State Students often referred to as NADESSTU which stands as the umbrella body to all indigenous students of Delta State, and on the other hand tends to bridgen the gap between the State Government and students of the state, has called for the removal of the state's commissioner for higher Education.
In a letter addressed to the state Governor, His Excellence Governor Ifeanyi A. Okowa which was signed by the Comr Godwin Saturday's led executives , it has been stated that the commissioner for higher education in the person of Prof. Patrick Muoboghare is unfit to oversee the educational sector in Delta State. Hence, the need for an immediate removal.
As stated in the letter, the second tenure of Gov Okowa's administration which brought about a reshufflement in leadership positions thereby bringing in Prof. Patrick Muoboghare has twarted the Governors unconditional desire to move the student body forward.
Further stating, the first four years of the Okowa's Administration witnessed a robust and cordial relationship between all stakeholders in the education sector and where there were hitches, issues were resolved on a round table amicably. Indeed, the office of the Honourable Commissioner (Jude Sinebe) was home for students, students leaders and all concerned, describing the previous tenure.
However, with the resumption of Prof Muogboghare to office, The student community which without doubt is the most intellectual, vibrant and restless part of the state, anticipated a changed and more impacting personality different from what was previously witnessed in Jude Sinebes' time as the commissioner of higher education during former Govenor Uduaghan's Administration. To the surprise of everyone, nothing seem to have changed rather things became deteriorative , oldfashioned, primitive, antiquated , and not in tune with 21st century leadership skills, as displayed by Prof Muogboghare.
Further stating, the cabinet reshuffle of theIt is on record officially and via other medium that all avenue to interact with the ministry of Higher Education on issues affecting the welfare and interest of Delta State students has failed. As such only a calm, responsible and responsive personality should man the office of the Ministry of Higher Education.
In this regard, following the woeful failure of Prof. Patrick Muoboghare as Commissioner for Higher Education as described in the letter, the association (NADESSTU) has called for the removal of Prof Patrick from office because he has been considered unfit to hold any public office in Delta State.
In line with this, NADESSTU has given a fourteen (14)days ultimatum with which any failure to do this would attract a public action via peaceful protests and demonstrations.
Meanhile in a concluding statement, the association categorically stated viz:
"We know our Governor to be a listening man, we hereby anticipate and await timely action on our humble request. While we await approval of our request, we hereby declare Prof. Patrick Muoboghare “PERSONA NON GRATA” on all of Delta State Institutions and urge our members to embarass him if found trespassing 200meters away from our campuses".
