Zeus I: Nigerians are 10million times more inclined to complaining, just about anything than the ancient Israelites in the wilderness. You do good, complaining; you do bad, complaining.

kutchs: While it is not a waste it is however not what Imo school system needs at the moment. Infrastructural and personneldevelopment are better at the moment than free education. IMSU and Imo Poly are at best glorified secondary schools, inadequate lecture theatres and halls, unconducive staff offices, dissatisfied workers are all hallmark of these schools as are all Nigerian tertiary institutions. The IMSU I left in 1999 has barely changed in terms of structural and staff development, thus I wish that Owelle should give equal attention these areas too.

By the way my young nephew confirms the collection of his own #100000 cheque. Kudos to Imo state govt but...

Josh316: Here comes the Complete Brokeness of Imo by 2015... Really, while on the short term it might seem populist and wonderful, it really will NOT address the core issue with Education in Imo. Economically, even the US doesn't give that much freebies when it comes to education but they encourage student loans. People might attack me for being objective but this is NOT a good policy.

PointB: Education management has always been one of the core strength of Rochas judging from his well known educational philantrophism across the country. Education incidentally has also been one of the silient feature that stood Imo State aside from several states in Nigeria. Rochas and Imo State are meant for one another - educationally at least. Now if there is anyone in Nigeria who can tell for sure, whether this policy of free education is sustainable - the first person that come naturally to mind is Rochas.

solomonkane: I support, applaud and encourage subsidized education. I completely disagree with free education. At the risk of sounding pessimistic, this looks like another half-baked "masses oriented" policy that will leave the next administration with mountains of debts and stifle meaningful long term progress. Going by statistics, Imo state has one of the highest number of tertiary students in the nation, how sustainable is it? Even states like Rivers and Delta with large allocations and Lagos with a large IGR can't and shouldn't try it.

mike.okiro:


Hallo my dear, have you forgotten that former governor of River state peter odili, had 3 private jets, houses in UK, america and south africa all for himself alone and i hope also u have not forgotten the famous James Ibori , the former Delta state governor who stole billions of naira from his people, having luxury houses all over the world, in europe , america , canada , and dubai, with chain of luxury cars and billions in foreign bank account who is now in UK prison

Now ask urself, Instead of stealing those money and using it for personal luxury wouldnt that money have been enough to be paying even if it was half tuition fees to his people in school.

governor rochas okorocha should be praised not critisized please, we need people who think like him to move this country forward

uplawal: @Solomonkane,you are a big fool and idiot,why do you think every student of a well rich nation not deverve a free education at all level,all you could come up with is they will be in massive debt,free education should be for anyone willing to learn in a rich nation like Nigeria,and there is no adverse effect if managed well.

Infact,All student in Nigeria are supposed to be educated freely,IMO State welldone,Fashola pls follow suit
