Madam Grace Agogo, spokesperson for the women, could not hide her joy when she said “he is the best Rector we have seen”.

She said, “We’re here to appreciate our son and Rector of our polytechnic for what he has been doing in the school. He’s the best Rector we have seen. We, Evweya of Otefe-Oghara, decided to dance here today to appreciate him and his team. We have never done this to any previous Rector.

“Over the last four years, the community has been enjoying peace with the students. When someone is doing what is right and good, it’s good to appreciate the person. Though we are old, we are not blind. We are seeing the development taking place within the school.

“We thank our governor (Senator) Ifeanyi Okowa for appointing him. When his (Ogujor’s) tenure is over we want his kind of person to continue.”

As if that was not enough, the women at the historic occasion, poured more encomium on the Rector and his management team for ensuring quality infrastructural development as well as the establishment of water factory within the campus.

Corroborating the women that Oghara people were pleased with his performance as Rector of the polytechnic, Senior Special Assistant (Special Duties) to Governor Ifeanyi Okowa and an Oghara elite, Chief Duncan Ewhere, said, “Oghara people are very hospitable people. This is historic because Evweya (women) have never done this in the history of the school. It shows they are happy with the way you’re running the affairs of the school. Aside the women, Oghara people are happy and we commend you for what you are doing.”

In his response, an elated Rector, Prof Ogujor, thanked the women for the visit, and commended them for their continued support and prayers for the growth of the school.

He attributed the development recorded so far in the institution within his over four years reign to the collaboration of management staff as well as the support of Governing Council and Governor Ifeanyi Okowa love for education.
