The governor of Delta State, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, on Wednesday approved 25 per cent reduction in acceptance fee payable in the four state-owned universities as part of palliatives for students.
This was disclosed in a statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Sir Festus Ahon, in Asaba, the state capital.

They are Delta State University, Abraka; Delta State University of Science and Technology, Ozoro; University of Delta, Agbor and Dennis Osadebay University, Anwai-Asaba.
The governor’s spokesman further said the state government has earmarked N10 billion in addition to over 17,000 bags of rice and over 64,000 bags of maize all in 50kgs as palliatives for the less privileged, the poor, persons with disabilities and the aged in society.
