Post created on 12:58 pm

Residents of Ozoro in Isoko North  and it’s environs have expressed mixed reactions on the dwindling of commercial activities since the Delta State Polytechnic Ozoro in Isoko North Local Government Area of Delta State was converted to the Delta State University of Science and Technology Ozoro by the outgoing Governor of Delta State, Sen. Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa.

Some of the residents and former students of the Polytechnic Ozoro, speaking with Crown FM asserted that there are changes since the conversion from Polytechnic to University as it is visible now that most hostels in the community are vacant and most buildings have been put up for sale since there are no much students to pay for the higher school fees of the University as against what was being  paid when it was Polytechnic. They noted that most of the students now troop to either Delta State Polytechnic Oghara and Delta State Polytechnic Ogwash-uku.

Speaking further on the number of students in the community and School environment compared to before when it was Polytechnic, some of the students say some departments have 40 in a class, others 30 and some 90 as against triple of that when it was a Polytechnic. They expressed faith that there might be increase or decrease as a result of the fees being paid by students overtime.
