The skills acquisition center which was built by the Mrs Nkoyo Ibori, wife of former governor of Delta state in 1999 is presently a shadow of it old self. The building has allegedly been abhorring all sorts of hoodlums including sex workers who have converted most of its rooms into sex quarters at night.
Investigation revealed that armed hoodlums broke into the center and allegedly carted away vital equipment. According to the state Police Commissioner, Alkali Baba Usman who confirmed the incident, the hoodlums gained entrance into the center while the security guards were asleep, and two of the guards have been arrested and are currently helping the police for further investigation.
The State Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Mrs. Shola Williams, expressed regret on the state of affairs at the center, especially with the set of broken chairs and dirty environment.
She described the environment as a serious apology, saying that the skill acquisition center was an eyesore, “The Center is completely a mess and all the equipment have been stolen. No students can be admitted to learn any craft of their choice; it is completely in shambles.” Mrs Williams, however, assured that the state government would do something to bring the center back to shape.
