Gov. Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta has commended MTN Nigeria, a telecommunication giant, for investing in education through the remodeling of science laboratories in the state.
Okowa gave the commendation on Thursday, when he officially inaugurated science laboratories at the St Augustine College Ibuzor, which were remodeled by the MTN Foundation (MTNF).
The governor, who was represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Mr Patrick Ukah, said the project would encourage students to enhance their knowledge on science, technology and innovation.
“My administration has always showed its readiness to continuously partner with MTNF and I commend the Foundation for effectively carrying out its corporate social responsibilities toward the people.
“The joy of a perfect partnership is a bedrock of this administration to partner with organisations.
“This administration remains committed to quality education at all levels, hence our readiness to support MTNF and other stakeholders who take the initiative to encourage us in one way or the other,” he said.
He thanked the Old Boys of St Augustine College for attracting MTN to the school and pledged government’s continued support for improved affordable and quality education.
