Osakue urged the state government to constitute a governing council and begin the process of hiring principal officers for the institution, saying the work done by the SIT will not be appreciated unless the institution reviews its enabling laws.

Responding, Governor Obaseki said his government is committed to restoring the lost glory of the institution.
