Imo Government Takes Over Eastern Palm University, Scraps New Institutions by NORSIYK(m): 5:45pm On Jul 31, 2019 |
The Imo State Government has taken over the Eastern Palm University, Ogboko and converted it to a campus of the Imo State University, Owerri. The 8th Imo Assembly had passed a law allotting 90 per cent equity shares to trustees of Rochas Foundation and 10 per cent to Imo state government. https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/imo-govt-takes-over-okorochas-varsity-scraps-new-institutions.html 21 Likes 4 Shares

This is d boldest move from Ihedioha. Rochas deceitful approach in establishing a university with Imo State money and retaining 90% equity with d entire Imo left with paltry 10% was d most capitalist affront on a people by a wicked state henchman. I honestly never new d new sheriff in town will be audacious enough to retrieve this. I pray Ihedioha succeeds 346 Likes 27 Shares |

This university should be sold to private corporation and also, plant lots of palm trees all around to give it that aesthetical look. 39 Likes |

WRONG MOVE. WE NEED PRIVATE UNIVERSITY IN THE EAST, THAT ARE ADEQUATE AND STANDARD. I REPEAT AGAIN, WE URGENTLY NEED MORE PRIVATE UNIVERSITY. OKOROCHA SHOULD NOT BE AN EXAMPLE OF PEOPLE NOT INVESTING IN THEIR STATE. AS MUCH AS I DISLIKE ROCHAS, DIS IS A WRONG MOVE. POLITICS ASIDE, HE IS THE ONLY GOV THAT INVESTED IN SE EDUCATION, THE WAY I LIKE. THAT LEGACY SHOULD BE LEFT OUT OF EFFCC HANDS AND ABOVE PARTY POLITICS. ANYBODY THAT PLAYS WITH SCHOOLS, UNIVERSITY OR EDUCATION IN THE EAST, IS AN ENEMY OF NDIIGBO. IHEDIOHA TAKE NOTE. I DID NOT SAY, U SHOULD LEAVE ROCHAS, I AM SAYING LEAVE THE SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSITY ALONE. IT IS NOT EASY TO SECURE FEDERAL APPROVAL FOR ADDITIONAL UNIVERSITY IN THE EAST ROCHAS DID AND BUILT THE EASTERN PALM UNIVERSITY. 53 Likes 6 Shares |

jlinkd78: Nonsense, if the University was built in Benin Republic will dey go there to convert it to Imo State University? I am not interested in unconfirmed claim. I believe wat i wrote is very clear. All the Govs in the east that have been looting i.e. Orji Kalu, Peter Obi, that u lot hail hero, how many invested in Education or even invested in the East? I know Igbo people have envy and jealousy issue but if Ihedioha plays with this education legacy that Rochas has sowed in Imo, it will back fire on him. Take note, i did not say leave Rochas but stay clear of our education in the East. If he like, let him Sieze Rochas house or business, capture Rochas daughters and kidnap Rochas wife, i will hail him but School, University and Education, I will start disliking him. And I like Ihedioha. 39 Likes 7 Shares |

If it is established that Rochas helped himself with the state fund in establishing the university , the school should not only be taken from him, he should also be prosecuted for it. However, the Imo government should be careful not to be seen as witch hunting the ex-governor 2 Likes |

JAWBONE: The state cannot manage that University. State and Private University are separate standard. That University would be managed better by Rochas Foundation. Rochas was the one that carried the vision. Anything u people are doing leave the School and University alone. We want our people to open more world class Higher institution. 29 Likes 3 Shares |

Go to SW, dey have Covenant University, babcock university etc Many Igbos studying there, nobody in SE care. Okorocha came and opened one, as if he read my mind and Ihedioha is closing it. Ihedioha should not make us start hating him already, it is too early for dat. Leave that School for Okorocha, anything School leave it and passover. In fact, in the whole east, anything School should be left alone, as long as it is properly being managed. There is a deficit of tertiary institution in SE. 19 Likes 2 Shares |

WAT I SAID IS TRUTH. IF U CLAIM OKOROCHA LOOTED AND BUILT US UNIVERSITY, I PREFER THAT TO THOSE THAT WILL LOOT AND SEND THEIR CHILDREN TO STUDY IN LONDON AND US. LOOT AND USE THE MONEY TO DEVELOP ABUJA OR LAGOS OR SEND IT ABROAD. IS OKOROCHA THE FIRST OR LAST? WILL IHEDIOHA NOT LOOT? MIND U, AM NO SUPPORTER OF OKOROCHA.

I PUT IGBO PROGRESS FIRST. IGBO CANNOT PROGRESS IF OUR CHILDREN LIVE AND GO TO UNIVERSITY IN SW. I AM STILL CALLING FOR A UNIVERSITY TO BE BUILT IN ANIOMA. OKOROCHA IS THE ONLY GOV THAT CAPTURED MY IMAGINATION IN THAT AREA. ANOTHER IS THE CATHOLIC CHURCH UNIVERSITY IN ONITSHA. WE WANT BEAUTIFUL SCHOOLS. IMO STATE UNIVERSITY LOOKS CRAP AND IF EASTERN PALM IS HANDED TO DEM, DEY RUN IT DOWN. 14 Likes 2 Shares |

hammerVJ:. Looting should be discouraged. Rochas has enough personal resources to own a private university not with a state fund. I understand all you’re trying to say but it belongs to the state and the state knows what to do with it. 30 Likes |

hammerVJ: u are part of the problem and ur logic is very weird! anyone that encourages looting of public fund in anyway is a societal cancer like the looter himself and should be treated as such. the university was built with state fund. initially it was meant to be a permanent site for imsu but when the owerri Zone resisted the relocation of imsu, okorocha commandeered it. the govt has taken d first step by recovering it. the next thing to do is either make it a satellite campus for imsu or look for private investors that will manage it under favourable terms and conditions. stop arguing with poor logic and reasonings that will make u look stupid. sometimes u need to a break, read other comments and learn. the first step in advance learning is UNLEARNING of spurious knowledge.May the Lord enlighten our understanding that we may reason as intelligent mind and not animals 36 Likes 3 Shares |
