APC Commends Nwifuru Over UICTO Maiden Matriculation
The Ebonyi State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has commended the Governor of Ebonyi State, Rt. Hon. Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru, for the successful maiden matriculation ceremony of the University of ICT, Science and Technology, Oferekpe Agbaja (UICTO).
In a statement issued by the State Chairman of the party, Hon. Chief Stanley Okoro Emegha, the APC described the development as a significant milestone that reflects the governor’s commitment to advancing education and promoting technological development in the state.
The party noted that the establishment of a specialised institution focused on Information and Communication Technology, science, innovation and entrepreneurship demonstrates the administration’s vision of equipping young people with skills needed to compete in the global economy.
According to the statement, the governor’s decision to grant five-year scholarships to the 187 pioneer students of the institution, irrespective of other funding opportunities, shows his compassionate and forward-looking leadership.
Emegha said the gesture would not only encourage academic excellence but also reduce the financial burden on families across the state.
He also commended the governor’s emphasis on discipline and his administration’s zero tolerance for examination malpractice, cultism and other social vices within the institution.
The APC chairman expressed confidence that the university would grow into a centre of excellence through sustained investment in infrastructure, research and innovation.
The party further reaffirmed its support for the governor, expressing optimism that Ebonyi State would continue to witness remarkable development under his leadership.
