The Head of Department, Fine and Applied Art, Delta State Polytechnic, Ogwashi-Uku, Ovie Tebu has said any student that will graduate from the department with commitment, will not be a job seeker, but employer of labour.

He described the Rector of the institution, Professor Emmanuel Achuenu as a great builder that has brought to the polytechnic his wealth of experience which according to him has been exhibited in the cause of executing his works.
The Head of Department said the rector has proved that he was passionate about the development of the institution through his landmark achievements and enduring legacies.
