Sorry, not enough reason for Non-Southeasterners to risk getting kidnapped in the Southeast. Make it free.

Sam Milla:

It is easier to call him ediot because he is not your wretched father who could not afford your school fees.
As shallow minded as you are, you silly mind did not tell you that everybody does not do the same thing at the same time. While the allocation of Imo state is far bigger than that of Enugu, have you taken out time to see that Enugu is far more better than Owerri?

izubros: Hmmm!slashing school fees by 50% when acceptance fee is 70k.ie 100k total. . .clever criminal

Prof Corruption: Pure bad move.

safarigirl: better to owe a bunch of corrupt civil servants with old, overworked brains, than prevent the improvement of fresh minds. It's a smart move, get as much youths into the state with cheaper education as bait, create an environment they would find irresistible, give the best minds jobs when they graduate, and watch your state flourish. It's the same tactic the US applied and countries like Ukraine and Ghana, where Nigerians are running to, are presently applying, though an upgrade of the schools would have made the plan foolproof. Still, Rochas is thinking smart.

God is watching...

doctokwus: Anoda populist,poorly thought out move.Where will d funding for offsetting d balance to d institutions come from,or wi he now b owing salaries or cutting subventions?As long as he hasn't elaborated how to improve funding or @worst maintain d present funding,I don't think anyone shd b applauding him

desertboom: Fake news, how much is the school fee? If he did cut it down to 50%, how much is the new fee? It is either this news is incomplete or they're telling lies.

sirugos: God bless u 4 reasoning different, after cutting it to 50% it still land to 90-100k. Politics. Beside there is nothing like free education in imo state tertiary institution. Infect let me clarify some pple here. After u were given a cheque of 100k as an annual allowance. U need to go and collect extra 20k 4rm ur parents making it 120k and pay it to ur skol bursary.

desertboom: @sirugos. . . Bro. I am a student of this Institution, I know everything. People just read paper, watch news and then conclude.

Let me break it down for those shouting about Rochas being the best.

If given admission today in IMSU as a fresher, you are expected to pay;

Acceptance fee 70,000
School fees 120,000 and 150,000 for non-indegens.

Mind you the scholarship has not been given to year one because they've no applied yet

Abeg, who is smarter? Is this free education?

PointB: I think it's a smart move to slash the fees for non-indigene. Hostel building (and associated activities) is about to witness a boom in Imo State. LASU students will surely benefit from this move!

gregtochi:

But you are collecting the 100K cheque at all. why can't some poeple be objective? when we went to school, nobody subsidised our tuition. If Rochas pays 83.3% of your tuition , its enough reason to commend him, lets be honest.

Prof Corruption: Pure bad move.

ifysoft:

Bro.. you simply dont know whats up.. As i am typing now he has already issued checks to all indegenes of imo state in IMSU and year one students got checks too.
Acceptance fee is normal.. All schools collect that when you are giving admission.. Stop talking like a bad belle and if you do not like what he is doing move to LASU>>>>>>

KDULAR: I enjoyed free education up to class 2 also enjoyed low tuition university education 80-90s and i'm absolutely thankful for it. However I hope I would not be insulted for saying that looking at the prwsent situatio in the country, I don't subscribe to free education from anything beyond the JS3 level. After this level, education ( formal ) should be a choice and I would only subscribe to subsidized education or the one in which it would look like a loan for going through STATE OR FEDERAL UNIVERSITIES AT THIS PRESENT SUBSIDIZED RATE WITH AN UNDERTAKING TO REPAY THE GOVERNMENT BACK THE BALANCE ON COMPLETION OF THE EDUCATION OVER A PERIOD OF TIME THAT IS NEGOTIABLE. We really need to see the need for a highere level of responsibility from citizens to the government and the alma mata. There's nothing wrong if the said refund is channeled directly into the alma mata acount so that funds could be made available directly for projects and developments.

Imaging that most of us that attended Federal Schools at very cheap rates compared to those that attended state universities and even private ones will come out and still complain that we've not benefited from the government.

Well the governor should just look at his ballance and think thorough this gesture, if it'll be in the loong term interest of the state. Npt as regarding the non-indegenes but indegenes alike.
