President Bola Tinubu stated on Saturday that the establishment of the Nigeria Maritime University in Okerenkoko, Delta State, in May 2015, has brought about a restoration of peace in the oil-rich Niger Delta region.
“Since the establishment of the university, peace has returned to the entire Niger Delta region, which in the past has been a hotshot of crisis and militancy,” said the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, who spoke on Tinubu’s behalf at the university’s maiden convocation.”
“That is the pivotal role that this university is playing in the peace of the region.”
