Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta, has commended the Value Rebirth Centre Leadership School for its sustained commitment to raising a new generation of visionary leaders through quality leadership training.
Speaking through the Commissioner for Higher Education, Professor Nyerhovwo Tonukari, at the 8th Annual Lecture and Graduation Ceremony of the institution in Warri, the governor lauded the school’s dedication to nurturing young minds with the values, skills, and vision required to transform society.
Governor Oborevwori described the occasion as “a testament to the hard work and dedication” of students, lecturers, and parents, noting that the Value Rebirth Centre had become “a veritable hub for grooming leaders of tomorrow.”
He told the graduands that leadership is not defined by titles or positions, but by “character, vision, and the ability to inspire and influence others,” urging them to remain committed to the principles they had learned during their training.
“True leaders are not just born; they are made through dedication, hard work, and a willingness to learn. The knowledge and values you’ve gained here will serve as a strong foundation for your future,” he said.
Oborevwori also praised the management and staff of the school for their “tireless efforts” in building capacity for national development, adding that their contribution to leadership development would continue to make a lasting impact.
The governor further reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to educational excellence, just as he emphasised that investing in education was a strategic investment in the state’s future.
The governor pledged continued support for institutions and programmes that promote leadership, innovation, and societal transformation.
He congratulated the graduating students and challenged them to become change-makers, innovators, and problem-solvers, “the kind our world so desperately needs.”
The ceremony, themed around the concept of rebirth and renewal, brought together distinguished guests, parents, and community leaders, celebrating the achievements of the graduating class while underscoring the continuous nature of personal and leadership growth.
