The names of two of the upgraded institutions were changed during the Tuesday plenary session by members of a recommendation from the Education Committee of the House.

The Delta State University of Education, Agbor, was changed to University of Delta, Agbor, while the Delta State University of Science and Agriculture, Anwai, is now known as Dennis Osadebey University, Anwai-Asaba.
