Benue government merges Technical, Special Science School
Benue State governor, Samuel Ortom on Tuesday, announced the merger of the Technical School at Benue State University with Special Science Senior Secondary School Makurdi, to be known as Government Science and Technical College Makurdi.
Ortom, while inspecting infrastructure at the Special Science Senior Secondary School Makurdi, said the merger would enable the State Government to give maximum attention to the institution, noting that, “global focus is now on science and technical education.”
The Governor further revealed that the Alfred Akawe Torkula College of Advanced and Professional Studies, Makurdi, has reached an advance stage to be converted to a Polytechnic at the Benue State House of Assembly.
He directed the State Commissioner for Education, Professor Dennis Ityavyar to, “immediately compile the list of challenges confronting the two schools visited in order of priority and forward same to him for attention.”
Principal Special Science Senior Secondary School Makurdi, Mrs. Lilian Ameh, who expressed delight over the Governor’s visit, identified uncompleted projects in the school to include Girls Hostel, multipurpose hall, clinic and technology centre which she said needed urgent attention.
Rector of Alfred Akawe Torkula College of Advanced and Professional Studies, Professor Barns Anger, commended Governor Ortom for the foresight to convert the institution into a Polytechnic, saying the gains would outlive his administration and benefit generations to come.
