According to Dr. Ugbomah, improved remuneration for university workers is not simply a welfare measure but an important investment in the stability, productivity, and overall quality of the State's tertiary education system. He noted that as a former Chairman of the Governing Council of Delta State Polytechnic, Ogwashi-Uku, and as a lecturer at Dennis Osadebay University, he understands the critical role that the welfare and motivation of academic and non-academic staff play in the effective functioning of tertiary institutions.
Dr. Ugbomah's commendation comes at a time when Delta State's universities are experiencing increased enrolment and expanding academic programmes, making investment in human resources particularly important. He urged academic and non-academic staff to reciprocate the gesture through greater dedication, professionalism, discipline, research, teaching excellence, and commitment to the development of their respective institutions.
The decision to approve a new salary structure for academic staff of Delta State's four universities has been welcomed by the academic community. Dr. Ugbomah further commended the Governor for other interventions aimed at improving the tertiary education sector, stressing that infrastructure development and staff welfare must go hand in hand if Delta State is to build sustainable centres of academic excellence.

He therefore congratulated the academic community across the State and expressed his appreciation to Governor Oborevwori for what he described as a timely and commendable investment in the future of Delta State.
The approval of the new salary structure is part of Governor Oborevwori's efforts to improve the welfare of workers in the State's tertiary institutions.
