The accommodation problem of students of Imo State University at Lake
Nwaebere Owerri and the plight of parents who spend through their nose
to provide or procure residential spaces around the university at
exurbanite rates for them, will soon be a thing of the past, as the
present acting Vice Chancellor of the institution, Prof. Mrs. Victoria
Adaobi Obasi is not leaving any stone unturned in her current effort
to ensure that her students are properly accommodated in a safe and
serene environment necessary for academic works and learning at an
affordable rents.

Investigations at the university campus revealed that Prof. Obasi has
been making frantic efforts on the contractors handling the
construction of the multi million naira multiple hostel complex at the
campus to complete the project for subsequent use in the next academic
year beginning September, 2016.

Further investigation revealed that the new Vice Chancellor is worried
over the plight of the students and their parents as well as constant
reported cases of cult activities.

Meanwhile students who reside in some private hostels and private
properties in Orji, Uratta, Amakohia and Akwakuma areas, pay as much
as N90, 000 to N100, 000 a room per annum and in order to meet
economic challenges they are forced to live four in a room with some
squatting another set of four students to minimize cost.

The off campus or rather non-residential status of the state
university has been a source of concern not only to parents alone but
also other inhabitants of the axis who are exposed to various types of
crime including armed robbery, cult, rituals and prostitution.

The Imo State Government has denied owing workers salaries as claimed
by a group, Ndi-Igbo Unity Forum and dismissed the ultimatum issued to
Governor Rochas Okoroacha to pay.
Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Sam Onwuemeodo in a statement
on Sunday said "the truth, and the whole truth is that, Governor
Okorocha or the Imo State Government has paid workers in the state
upto February, 2016, and that of March is about to begin."
" Anybody or any group that worths being called a group that has any
contrary claim to make based on facts and figures should come up with
it. In Imo, the government of Governor Okorocha does not tell lies.
" We tell our audience the truth at all times, to the glory of God. We
sympathize with these enemies of good works and ask God to have mercy
on them," Onwuemeodo stated.
While stating that the group that issued the statement was as
fictitious , the Chief Press Secretary said it was not able to
convince their audience on their genuiness by stating their stake and
the particulars of the salary arrears and allowances they had talked
about.
He said it was ironical that the group made its allegations after the
State Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) , Comrade Austin Chilakpu while
making his speech during the Workers' May Day Celebration commended
Governor Okorocha for not owing workers in the state salary arrears
like it is the case in some other states.
" Those scratching Governor Okorocha have always ended up displaying
their weakness both mentally and spiritually. They are always petty
because they have no valid claim to make against Governor Okorocha and
the Rescue Mission Government he superintend

Contrary to reports that authorities at the University of Lagos have suspended the institution's student union body, the union on Friday dismissed its purported suspension as untrue. "We are still intact and we are still in the struggle," the union said in a statement signed by its General Secretary, Emmanuel Afolabi. He said few days after the university management posted a statement on the institution's website, announcing the suspension, the union executives are yet to receive any official document on the development. He added that instead of the management to give a letter announcing the union's suspension, it only locked up its offices. "On this note, we are stating categorically that ULSU is still ULSU. No ULSU executive or principal officer was elected via the school website and we can never accept a suspension via that means," the statement added. The union, however, described the purported suspension as illegal, insisting that the management has no right to suspend the union.

Akwa Ibom governor builds mansion within few months


According to the online medium, the governor started building the edifice about four months after emerging as winner of the last gubernatorial election in the state.
Sahara Reporters stated further that in an exclusive report on September 30, 2015, it had revealed that contract for the building project was awarded by the governor to VKS Construction Limited, a construction firm owned by one Onur Kumral, a Turkish national.


The Turkish national was also alleged to have aided the former governor, Godswill Akpabio in siphoning public funds and a source close to him reportedly told Sahara Reporters that, “Oliver Ebong and his company Olkem Nigeria Limited are fronts that was used by Godswill Akpabio, his brother Emem Akpabio and Mr. Don Etim to loot billions of naira of Akwa Ibom funds.
“What happened was that the former governor gave almost all the consultancy job for roads and other infrastructural projects and contracts of his government to Olkem Nigeria Limited which ran into several billions of naira.
“The cost of the consultancy contracts were usually inflated and returns were made to the former governor, his brother and Don Etim. This fact was common knowledge within government circles.”
