The senator representing Delta Central Senatorial District of Delta State, Chief Ede Dafinone, on Monday, paid an unscheduled visit to Sapele Technical College, the second oldest technical college in Nigeria, lamenting the present state of dilapidation of the institution. He, however, promised to work with the government at all levels to reposition the once-famous college. Sapele Technical College, aside from being the second oldest technical college after Yaba Technical College, is the first technical school in Delta, and it is owned by the state government. The PUNCH gathered that Sapele Technical College, which has been without power for the past two years, also has its workshops for practicals in complete disrepair. The Principal also said that the College has been the target of vandalism as thieves have broken into the workshops and stolen tools and equipment.
