Delta State University, DELSU, Abraka has embarked on a comprehensive renovation of lecture halls at Campus 3, Site III, as part of efforts to improve academic infrastructure and create a more conducive learning environment for students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project, being carried out under the administration of Vice Chancellor, Professor Samuel Asagba, is targeting some of the largest lecture venues on campus, with particular attention on the 750-seater Lecture Theatre A, which is widely regarded as one of the busiest academic facilities in the university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Campus 3 serves as the main academic hub of DELSU. It houses the Faculties of Sciences, Basic Medical Sciences, Education, Social Sciences, and Management Sciences. On a daily basis, thousands of students converge on the campus for lectures, examinations, seminars, and other university activities, making the condition of lecture halls critical to academic performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials of the university said the renovation work involves the replacement of old and damaged chairs, installation of modern lighting systems, improved ventilation, upgraded public address systems, and the provision of digital projectors. In addition, high-speed internet connectivity is being extended to the halls to support e-learning, research, and digital presentations. Laboratories within the campus are also being upgraded alongside the lecture halls to meet current academic standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 750-seater Lecture Theatre A has become a central landmark on Campus 3. It is frequently used for large classes as well as major university events. Earlier this year, the theatre hosted the 118th, 119th and 120th Inaugural Lectures of the university, drawing large audiences of staff, students, and invited guests. Because of the high demand for space, organizers of such events often advise participants to arrive early to secure seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students who spoke with Campus III Press described the renovation as a welcome development, noting that it addresses some of the challenges they have faced over the years. Nwanze Sandra Chineye, a 100-level student of Medical Biochemistry, said the replacement of chairs has ended the practice of students standing during lectures. She however expressed concern that the new chairs may not be comfortable enough for long lectures. \u201cBefore now, some of us had to stand because there were not enough good chairs. At least now everyone has a place to sit. But after sitting for a long time, the chairs begin to hurt my back, and writing during lectures can sometimes be difficult,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Osamor Josephine Onyekachukwu, a 200-level Medicine and Surgery student, also commended the university for the upgrade. She said the installation of new chairs has solved one of the major problems students faced. \u201cThe replacement of the chairs has really helped because students no longer have to stand during lectures. It is a good development, but I think the chairs could be more comfortable because sitting on them for a long time can be stressful, and the writing desks make note-taking a bit difficult,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ogochukwu Sarah, a 100-level Theatre Arts student, said the new seating arrangement has made a noticeable difference in the learning environment. She urged students to help maintain the facilities so that they can serve the university community for a long time. \u201cThe new chairs have made a big difference. There are now enough seats for students, and people no longer have to stand during lectures like before. I just hope everyone will take good care of them so they last for a long time,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The renovation is being supported by the Delta State Government as part of its commitment to strengthening tertiary education in the state. Other projects currently ongoing on Campus 3 include the completion of the Senate Building and the construction of new hostels aimed at addressing accommodation challenges for students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

University management said the improvements are in line with DELSU\u2019s drive to maintain and improve its national standing. The university was recently ranked as the 4th best state university in Nigeria, and officials believe that modern facilities will help sustain that progress. They added that better lecture halls will also enhance the delivery of seminars, conferences, and research activities on campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professor Asagba has reiterated that his administration remains committed to upgrading infrastructure across all DELSU campuses. He called on alumni, corporate organizations, and other stakeholders to partner with the university in order to sustain the ongoing development and ensure that students and staff continue to learn and work in an environment that meets global standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
