Aniagwu, who was on an inspection visit to the school, said that arrangements had been concluded for a hitch-free inauguration.
He said the successful completion of the project which started a year ago, was another testimony of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa’s desire to build sustainable infrastructure for a Stronger Delta.
He commended the contractors and the supervising ministry for delivering the project on target.
A statement sent to Legit.ng by the Delta state government quoted him as saying:
“The capacity that we increase here in Delta has a way of impacting at the federal and so we are happy that we have been able to help the federal government in putting up this project and I am sure that the vice president will be very happy with what we have done here.’’

Speaking during the visit, Ejiofor said that the state government was committed to building sustainable infrastructure to boost tourism potentials in the state.
He said:
“So far, the work here is going on progressively. We come here all the time to make sure the project is followed to specification because we don't want to do a project that will not stand the test of time.’’
On the sustainability of the project, Ejiofor said the project was backed by the Private-Public Partnerships model.
On his part, Aniagwu said the construction of the projects was in line with Governor Okowa's desire to build a stronger Delta for enhanced development.
His words:
“It's a facility meant for the young and the old and as soon as this comes on stream Delta will make this the hub of Nollywood in Nigeria.’’
