The Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, on Monday, February 2, 2026, inaugurated the newly completed Omadino Model Technical College in Warri South Local Government Area of the state, further reinforcing his administration’s commitment to skills-based education and youth empowerment.
Governor Oborevwori described technical and vocational education as one of the most effective ways to tackle youth unemployment, adding that graduates will emerge as skilled professionals, entrepreneurs and employers of labour rather than job seekers.
While speaking during the inauguration of the newly completed Model Technical College, he described the institution as a flagship investment in skills development by his administration.
“Even I am often amazed at how much we have been able to achieve within two years without borrowing and without burdening the people. This project we are commissioning today is a clear example of prudent management. Contractors were paid promptly, and that is why delivery was timely,” the governor said.
He disclosed that the college had already commenced academic activities before its formal commissioning, noting that it showed the facility’s readiness and functionality.
The governor further said that the institution reflects clarity of vision, strategic planning and disciplined execution, pointing to its internal road network, administrative blocks, classrooms, workshops and laboratories as evidence of government’s commitment to quality education.
He also commended his predecessor, Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, for initiating the project, adding that his administration ensured its completion.
“Today, I am pleased to see a beautiful and solid edifice standing proudly. We give God all the glory. Any student, lecturer or staff member would be proud to be associated with this institution”, he said.
Oborevwori noted that the quality of training at the school was evident in the confidence and composure displayed by a student who spoke at the event.
“With the high-quality facilities provided here, I am confident that students of this college can compete with the best anywhere in the world. All workshops and laboratories are fully equipped with state-of-the-art facilities,” he added.
Reaffirming his administration’s commitment to education under the MORE Agenda, the governor said his government would continue upgrading educational infrastructure across Delta State, while urging management and host communities to protect the facilities from vandalism and neglect.
Earlier, the Commissioner for Technical Education, Mr. Smart Ufoh, described the Omadino Model Technical College as “a bold statement of purpose and a symbol of transformation”. He added that the institution has 12 classrooms and nine fully equipped workshops, alongside hostels, staff quarters, clinic, dining hall, school hall and sports facilities.
