Rochas Relocates Imo State University To His Village by macjive01: 4:56pm On Nov 13, 2011 |
The much speculated relocation of Imo State University to a permanent site may soon take place. [img]http://1.bp..com/_I5Dp6GFACsw/SyCM8ovMFVI/AAAAAAAAAHo/x0Q6AnzJpuY/S730/Imo+State+University.jpg[/img] Information available to Weekend Nigerian Horn reveals that Ideato South the LGA of the state governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha may be eventual beneficiary of the relocation of the state owned University whose relocation has been a subject of much debate among interested LGAs of the state. It was gathered that a site at Obohia, Ideato South LGA is already being cleared to host the Institution’s permanent site if Governor Okorocha approves the relocation. The Governor is said to be facing much pressure from people of Ideato South to leave a lasting and permanent legacy for the area before completing his tenure. In a recent visit to his area, the people of Ideato South were said to have told Governor Okorocha that they want Imo State University to be relocated to their area. Though the governor did not assent to their request, he however reportedly told them that he was looking into the issue of creating multi campus for the institution, so that other LGAs in the state would also host the University. Though Governor Okorocha is yet to give his consent, however, it is gathered that if the relocation plan goes through, Obohia which is near Ogboko, the Governor’s home town would host the administration section of the institution including major facilities while other facilities would be scattered in campuses across the state. One of the authorities of Imo State University who spoke to Weekend Nigerian Horn on the issue confirmed hearing speculations of the relocation to Ideato South. He said the Governor would be setting the state on fire if he outrightly relocates the school to his area. According to the man who spoke on condition of anonymity, the best thing Governor Okorocha should do is to relocate some of the faculties to a place like Ogbaku in Mbaitoli LGA and other areas so that it would reflect a true multi campus University instead of relocating the entire institution to one permanent site. It would be recalled that the issue of relocation of Imo State University, has become a reoccurring decimal in the state’s polity. After much debate, claims and counter claims especially between the people of Ogbaku, Mbaitoli LGA and Ngor Okpala Aboh Mbaise LGAs, the immediate past governor of the state, Chief Ikedi Ohakim towards the end of his administration announced the relocation of Imo State University to Ngor Okpala/Aboh Mbaise. http://www.igbolandforum.com/index.php?topic=670.msg1824#new |

Emergence of a scapegoat |

i think Rochas is more sensible to try such wacky stunt. as the article says he, rochas considers the multi-campus approach. let wait and see. anyway, i thought Ngor okpala axis is reserved for the Aviation college and allied Aviation industries, right? |

Misleading topic.Speculations and delibrations;nothing more. Btw,Ogboko does not have the capacity of carrying a university YET.Aside the Rochas free secondary school located there,the place is pretty much isolated.If anyone is thinking of taking a Uni. there,s/he is in for a huge infrastructural work. Why do the want to move the school from its current location |

ifyalways:The school is located in the heart of the town where there is practically limited room for expansion. There are no hostels in the schools, students live off camp where their lives are not monitored in any form, giving rise to cultism, rap£, robbery and other egregious behaviours. Relocating to a rural community where there's land will enable reasonable expansion to occur, make the students more contained, reduce cultism and even develop the host community. |
