According to Oborevwori, “It is gratifying to note that the Federal Government College, Warri, has produced leaders that continue to shape our history as a nation, and Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan is one of such men; Delta State is blessed to have had him as Governor in the current democratic dispensation.

“The Federal Government College, Warri, like similar Federal Government Colleges of the 1960s, was founded to breed a generation of Nigerians for the onerous task of nation building.

“Renowned for academic excellence and character development, the school was the dream and desire of every young man; it was not just that you are guaranteed quality education, but also that being a student of the school entitled you to some bragging rights. I recall that students of the school were the envy of their peers.

“I am glad that the Alumni of the school have remained connected and united. Occasions such as today bring back fond memories of the past and affords you the opportunity to play catch up.

“However, beyond the high fives, back slapping, fist bumps, and euphoria of today, I urge you to also think of ways you can help the school regain its pride of place in our educational system.

“As a government, we are committed to providing a conducive learning climate in state owned institutions, while empowering the students with the skill-set to compete in the global marketplace.”
