Enugu state, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi is better for now especially with his aim of spreading urbanity to other parts of the state aside Enugu City.
He has done a yeoman's job therefore his continuity is certain.

They actually did win 1st and second place. See them here http://www.nigeriaspellingbee.com/nigerian-wins-african-spelling-bee-champion-title/

That's good to know. Congrats to them...

Wishing him quick recovery.

Please bounce back to good health to give this inept and clueless government a dose of how to govern a nation. You have tamed them beyond imagination.

His lies are too too colossal that it crashed your system.

He had a modest architectural masterpiece as an abode...
Continue to Rest in Peace Nna 'nyi!

Triple post.

.

This is laudable.
A philanthropic heart goes places...

You have some salient points but still in present day Nigeria, polytechnic graduates are looked down upon... I would love to see that changed though.

please, arrange your work very well so as to enable the MOD push it to the homepage.

This is commendable! I hope others with the wherewithal will emulate.

This level of brainwashing is mindblowing...

Who can describe how to get to the Godfrey Okoye Univerisity in Enugu?

The governor recently commissioned the construction of the road in the area.

I can see a beautiful environment behind the governor as in the pic below. The river could be an asset for developing an estate.

I will appreciate it if anyone can help.

Thanks

That should be the permanent site of the school. I read online that it has a water body probably a lake in the campus...

If you mean bullet energy drink then no qualms cause I know the President is too frail to take that...

Ali is a boy and Simbi is a girl, LOL!!

Well, I think it's a noun; a name of a person animal place and thing.

And also I will never forget Figures of Speech; an expression which says a thing but means another.

So freedom of expression has now been thrown to the dogs...

Then we dissolve the Union, each region to its fragment...

On a lighter note, PDP now look more mature and humane in politics and I think giving them a benefit of doubt won't be too much.

The preferential treatment in UNN is becoming repulsive. The way the management neglect Franco entirely calls for critical thinking. I pray when the school's independent power station (Milhouse power) is finally constructed they won't excise that part of the school completely.
I hope Ozumba will look into their plight and resolve this problem amicably.

Bro, you did an awesome work on the city...

Your blog is going places already cause I can so many of your readers are foreigners with majority of them awestruck about the beauty of Enugu and Africa even though they've never been here before.
Keep it up and in no distant time your blog will be the window of Africa to the world.

Interesting arguments so far...

In the issue of state university you mentioned

There is a lot of politics going on in state owned institutions be it school's, health, or MDas

The Beau rec racy is just too much

If this will bring succor

Why not of not ?

I'm surprised you making such a statement, don't be servile and obsequious in your support for him cause of his party affiliation.
Is he not the head of the state? which bureaucracy or bottleneck in the state that is beyond his power to checkmate?
Like I said, he goofed in neglecting IMSU for this pseudo-public institution he is building.

Ambode is not doing bad, I will only fault him in the area of environmental management (sanitation precisely). He needs to step up his game there... Lagos is a cosmopolitan city, he can find a way to enlighten the people on proper waste disposal and management.

sarrki:
What is bad if he made himself proprietor ?

So far it will bring wealth and job creation to IMO state ?

Also its a way of enhancing IMO people educationally and IGR

Let's stop bigotry and nepotism

My post doesn't elicit bigotry or nepotism.

What you should have asked yourself is where Okorocha got the money to build a tertiary institution of such magnitude. And why is he neglecting the state's university to rot away especially the teaching hospital at Orlu.

What is the economic importance of this grandiose and white elephant project to the average Akwa-Ibomite?

Sometimes I cringe anytime I remember the crops of incompetent and visionless leaders at our disposal!

Okorocha has clandestinely made himself a proprietor of a university. I weep for my people! IMSU is in dearth of basic infrastructure and here the governor has expended and lavished millions of naira to build an elite university for the affluents.

Why admitting large numbers of students when you know you don't have the facilities to accommodate all of them?

Nigeria and always paying leap-service to little things like these. I pray the students recover quickly...

This one will use his first tenure to take care of himself first. BTW, which strength is he going to use to canvass for support?


Like Mr Jafaar asked, when did "eye neck" register this party?

Tragic news everywhere in Nigeria.
RIP to the departed souls!

I hope they won't still come out to debunk this. I don't believe in all these rankings though...


Education is an individual thing, no matter the rank of a school, if the students don't want to improve themselves they will keep remaining docile and forlorn.

Wow! 60MW is a lot! 60MW can power 15 universities the size of UNN-i hope there is proper funding available for it and wouldn't those workers of such plant be unionised by NASU?

They won't dare do that cause the project, I think, would be managed by the international firm that are constructing it. Moreover, the school intend using it to also train her students; engineers, and also create some sort of job opportunity for her students.

Joint Action Committees (JAC) of trade unions in the University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN), on Wednesday threatened to shut down electricity and water supply in the university. University of Nigeria Nsukka Trade unions: Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU), Non-academic Staff Union of Universities (NASU) and National Association of Academic Technologists (NAAT), said they were participating in the on-going strike to press for improved welfare.



Mr Paul Arua, UNN’s Chairman of JAC, told newsmen in Nsukka, that the nationwide strike of non-academic staff of universities would continue until the Federal Government meets demands of workers. “I am leading the enforcement team to ensure that no non-academic staff enters any office to work in UNN until government meets our demands, then national executives will suspend the strike. “As part of making the strike to be total in UNN, the enforcement team will on Wednesday shut down electricity and water supply in UNN.’’


He advised students that have returned to go back home as non-academic staff currently on nationwide strike would not allow offices and classrooms to open for office work or lecture. “The best thing for the students is to go home till non-academic staff suspend its strike; there will be no lectures, there will be no electricity and water supply in the university,” he said When contacted, the Chairman of Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) in UNN, Dr Ifeanyichukwu Abada, said lecturers were ready to teach students since ASUU was not on strike.


“Students are welcome back to campus and should prepare to receive lectures because lecturers will be coming to class to teach, ” he said. In swift reaction to the threat of non-academic staff of the university to shut down electricity and water supply , the Vice-Chancellor of UNN, Prof. Benjamin Ozumba, said what it means that leaders of non-academic staff in UNN have a hidden agenda.


“I know non-academic staff of universities are on nationwide strike, I have not heard any university where the union shut down electricity and water supply in campus. “Unless leaders of non-academic staff in UNN have hidden agenda and want to hide under the ongoing nationwide strike of non-academic staff to execute it,” he said. It would be recalled that UNN students were expected to resume academic activities on Monday, Jan. 8, 2018 after the Yuletide.

Well, it's nothing to be perturbed about. UNN is a school that has long devised a way of circumventing this industrial actions. I know it won't hamper or alter the academic calendar of the school which has been on course for more than a decade and adjudged her among the fastest schools in the country.

Be that as it may, I am very much happy for the 60MW coal powered plant which the University just inaugurated; in conjunction with Milhouse international to provide reliable, uninterrupted power supply to the school and the surrounding community (google it or visit the school site). When this is done, associations like this NASU that is threatening to shut down the power supply will lick their wounds.

I pray the baby finds help...
