“You should find yourself an opportunity while your parents still live to take good care of them, a lot of us have had the opportunity to take care of our parents, everyone has got something to give, Honour your father and mother so that your days will be long and it shall be well with you”.
He announced that his administration is committed to completing all ongoing projects before the end of the year.
“We will become a reference point when it comes to Development when it comes to building and we shall do it, we are going to complete all our ongoing projects including the airport and let me inform you that the King David University of Medical Sciences will take off by September this year.”
The Governor, while announcing that the King David University of Medical Sciences will take off in September, said the Government would relocate the proposed Faculty of Engineering, EBSU to assume the status of the Ebonyi State University of Technology in Izzi land.
He noted that his administration would also establish the University of Aeronautic Engineering in Ezza land before leaving office in 2023.
“I love education so much that we established the King David Medical College,” he said.
“The EBSU Faculty of Engineering which I started will be located in Izzi (Council Area) and it is now a University of Technology and it will be completed before I leave office”, he said.
