UNIPORT CCE Reviews A-Level Project
Preparatory to the
commencement of full academic activities in September, the management of the College of Continuing Education (CCE) of the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT), has set things in motion.
Towards this end, recently, the management met with implementing partners to ensure timely delivery of the Advanced Level School building project sited at the university park.
Speaking during a meeting of implementation committee, representatives, A-level project of the Department of Physical Planning/Development (DPPD), contractors and funding partners, the director of CCE, Professor Steve Okodudu, disclosed that the meeting was aimed at appraising the progress of work on the building project.
This, he said was to ensure that the project is delivered on schedule as envisaged by management of the university.
“We are meeting to take critical decisions on the progress so far made on the A-level school project, and how we would progress beyond what we have already done, and to draw attention to the fact that the project must be on the fast track.
“This is because, by September, we must take off, and by virtue of the fact that we must take off, it is important that we must deliver the project early enough to enable those who are going to work here settle down as quickly as possible,” he said.
The Director, who acknowledged that there were few challenges resulting from weather conditions, technical and other sundry issues, further disclosed that considerable progress had been made.
He added that the stakeholders would continue to meet until the project is delivered within the stipulated time frame.
In her response, the representative of the consulting firm, Prime Consultants, Mrs Dubria Efetie-Awunusi, expressed confidence that the project would be delivered on schedule with the cooperation of all parties involved.
Also responding, the Chairman, Advanced Level School Implementation Committee, Dr Ngozi Odu, who stressed the need for all partners to work as a team, commended them for deliberating on what she termed “knotty issues” surrounding the project.
