       research for national development, while stressing the need for
       proper maintenance of completed projects.

       the dearth of basic infrastructure in the school.
       ¡°The dearth of classrooms, lecture theatres, power supply,
       student hostels, office accommodation, library space and
       facilities are major challenges my administration facedwhen I
       assumed office two years-ago,¡¯¡¯ he said.
       The vice chancellor said with the interventionof the Tertiary
       Education Trust Fund, the university got 1000 sitting-capacity

       Technology, School of Environmental Technology Building, Centre

       The others are the School of Environmental Technology building,
       landscaping of the campus and the provision of solar energy
       lights on the campus.
       He also commended the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC)
       on the completion of the giant student hostel building in the
       university.
       He lauded the Federal Government for the release of N1 billion
       for the development of capital projects in each public funded
       university. (NAN)
