Tinubu 1140x570 1

President Bola Tinubu stated on Saturday that the establishment of the Nigeria Maritime University in Okerenkoko, Delta State, in May 2015, has played a crucial role in restoring peace to 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.”

The President acknowledged that the institution was officially established by the Federal Government eight years ago as the country’s “premier maritime university.” It commenced academic activities in the 2017/2018 academic session.

In congratulating the Chancellor, King Alfred Diete Spiff Seriatu, the Amayanabo of Twon-Brass in Bayelsa State, on this significant occasion, Tinubu expressed the belief that the graduation ceremony would mark a stepping stone for even more promising achievements.

“It is my pleasure to celebrate with you this milestone moment, the graduation of the first set of students from the Nigerian Maritime University,” Tinubu said.

“This event is indeed a significant moment in our national history in the educational sector as it represents the culmination of government’s efforts at conceptualising, planning, and building an institution of this nature that will impact human capital development in our nation’s maritime economy.”
