Alleged irregularities in employment at a Delta State university

On a petition by "Concerned Stakeholders of Delta State", presented by the Chief Whip, Perkins Umukoro, the Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Dennis Guwor, set up an ad hoc committee chaired by the Deputy Speaker, Arthur Akpowowo, to investigate recruitment at Delta State University, Abraka. The petitioners said Governor Sheriff Oborevwori approved 100 new staff in January 2024 but the university's council and management employed more than 400. The committee was given three weeks.
