President Bola Tinubu has officially signed into law a bill establishing the Federal University of Environmental Technology, Ogoni, Rivers State.
The signing comes just weeks after President Tinubu met with Ogoni leaders at the State House in Abuja.
During the meeting, held on January 21, 2025, the President emphasized the importance of unity and reconciliation, urging the Ogoni people to set aside historical grievances and work collaboratively towards peace, development, and environmental restoration. He said Nigeria cannot in any way rewrite history, but can correct some anomalies of the past going forward.
He expressed the need for forgiveness saying the country cannot heal if everyone continues to be angry.
The newly established institution, located in Ogoni, Rivers State, is expected to focus on environmental studies, sustainable development, and innovative technologies aimed at addressing ecological challenges.
