Stakeholders from Umuagwo in Imo State, have lent their support to Governor Hope Uzodinma’s plan to establish a new Imo State University of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences on their land.
The stakeholders had hitherto vehemently battled with past administrations against the establishment of the university because of the provision of a Public Private Partnership and multi campus arrangement in the law establishing the university. The stakeholders said they believed that the PPP provision was a ploy by a former governor to take over the university after leaving office, insisting that it must be 100 percent owned by the government.
Uzodimma on Friday set up a committee on the guidelines for the implementation of the take-off of the new Imo University located in Umuagwo. Ohaji-Egbema with Prof. Ukachuwku Awuzie, former Vice Chancellor of the Imo State University and former President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities , as the Chairman.
Others members of the Committee are; Mrs. Uwandu Uzoma Beatrice, the Permanent Secretary Ministry of Education , Prof Victor Kogah, Prof Chidozie C. Eze, Prof Nkechi Ogoh, Prof Alloy Ojilere, Prof B. C Nwosu, Assoc. Prof Nwulu and Dr. T. I Igwe.
Start by purging off the atrocious academic decadence in IMO STATE UNIVERSITY. That school is a disgrace to the state. Blatant sale of grades & results to students by lecturers, like market women sell crayfish in the open. Every certificate from that institution is a SHAM.
