The Abia State Executive Council has approved #10,000 reduction of
the Abia State University (ABSU) school fees for Abia indigenes in
ABSU.

Also approved is the immediate relocation of the Faculties of Law and
Humanities to Umuahia while Faculty of Engineering is to be relocated
to Aba.

The Commissioner for Information, Culture and Strategy, Comrade
Bonnie Iwuoha disclosed these while addressing journalists after this
week’s EXCO meeting. The Commissioner informed that the reduction
in school fees was to encourage poor and needy Abia indigenes to go
to school, adding that each student from Abia would prove his identity
by presentation of tax receipts of their parents or guidance and
biometrically.

Comrade Iwuoha further said that in an effort to improve IGR in the
State, government has withdrawn all previous approval given to MDAs
which permitted them to collect all forms of revenue, saying that,
henceforth, all such money should be paid into the IGR account made
available by the BIR.

project is on and it will serve Umuahia North, Umuahia South and
Ikwuano, while steps are are on to restore water supply in Aba.
Also work has commenced in Ohambele, where 100,000 oil palm
seedlings have been planted with hope that Abia will become one of
the major producers of palm oil.

On education, the 1st phase of the free school meal programme has
successfully been tested and the 2nd phase will take place when
schools resume.

The EXCO also approved the enforcement of State and Local
government joint projects, especially to ensure rural roads are fixed.
