In a significant legislative move poised to reshape the educational landscape of Delta State and the South-South region, the Senate will on Wednesday, May 28, hold a public hearing on the Bill for an Act to upgrade the Federal College of Education (Technical), Asaba to the Federal University of Technology.

The hearing, scheduled for 2:00pm at Senate Conference Room 022, National Assembly Complex, Abuja, is expected to draw a broad range of stakeholders, including representatives from academic institutions, youth groups, student unions, traditional institutions, and civil society organizations.

The bill, sponsored by Senator Ned Munir Nwoko (APC Delta North), seeks not only to elevate the status of the current college but also to significantly expand access to advanced technological education in the South-South region.

The proposed legislation has received commendations for its potential to catalyze innovation and human capital development in the region.

It was reliably gathered that adequate funding, staffing, and infrastructure plans are in place to ensure the university delivers on its mandate.

Senator Nwoko remains optimistic, describing the bill as a “bold step” toward national development, youth empowerment, and equitable access to education.

He has called on stakeholders, particularly those from Delta North, to actively participate in the hearing and submit memoranda that could help redefine and strengthen the bill.

“This is not just a legislative process; it is a generational opportunity to reimagine education in Delta North and beyond,” Senator Nwoko stated.

Observers note that the success of this bill could signal a wider push to reform and upgrade technical colleges across Nigeria, potentially addressing the long-standing mismatch between tertiary education and employable technical skills.
