Eastern Palm University To Offer Automatic Scholarship To Outstanding Jambites by Metrixnews(op): 9:19am On Oct 31, 2019
The chancellor, Eastern Palm University, Sen. Rochas Okorocha has announced plans to offer students with excellent academic performance in JAMB automatic scholarship into various departments in the university.

Okorocha, the immediate past governor of Imo state made this known in a chat with ABN TV on Wednesday.

He emphasised that those with special cases who by unforeseen circumstances cannot afford to go to school will be considered.

The federal lawmaker while stating that his Foundation, Rochas Okorocha Foundation is in talks with JAMB to organize this scholarship described education as a critical social infrastructure to drive development.

He also announced that at the moment, Eastern Palm University is offering free education to no fewer than 720 students at various departments, saying this is a way the Foundation is offering assistance to those who cannot afford the cost of education.

Okorocha also said the aim of establishing the university is to help the Foundation actualize its mandate of training children of the poor to the university level, adding that it is more cost effective than enrolling them in universities that do not belong to the Foundation.

While announcing that benefiting students can approach the Rochas Foundation headquarters or register online, Okorocha said JAMB will play a critical role in choosing those who will access the scholarship.

Jamb is not a measure of intelligence. The high scorers are not usually the best students in uni

This is a very good one from Mr Okorocha.
I hope his people can take good opportunity of this.

Re: Eastern Palm University To Offer Automatic Scholarship To Outstanding Jambites by fastseo:
I hate this man, God forgive me.

He wants to attract sympathy from the general public. I repeat all roads constructed by okorocha 8 years of governance..has been washed off.

The Eastern palm university was built with 100% imo state money. He brought an opinion to move the imo state university to his home town so as to decongest Owerri metropolis but people of Owerri refused. Okorocha knew quite well that people will resist, but he had a game plan. He continued with the structure suggesting that imo state can have two universities. Right now okorocha has claimed the school

Get the story here: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thenigerianvoice.com/amp/news/82866/okorochas-relocation-of-imo-state-university.html

The new imo stats government is trying to probe the institution and get it back to be an Anex of imo state university because it's built with 100% tax payers money.. Now okorocha the yahoo yahoo man wants to offer scholarships so as to get public sympathy...https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.sunnewsonline.com/okorocha-insist-eastern-palm-varsity-jointly-owned/amp/

Okorocha is a scamer who think ahead and wiser than most of you. The money used to erect those structures on that land was a state fund appropriated by the imo state house of assembly.


That boy you quoted is right.

Okorocha who used students of imo state university, imo poly and college of health to scam the state 100k for each students in the name of offering scholarships to all indigenes.
He connive with Diamond bank and top officials in the above institutions to achieve his aim. Now multiply 100k times thousands of students.

Okorocha is the greatest scammer of all time.

Guy this man made his money from politics. He was an adviser to Obj and trust me that his post was very lucrative and he had other government appointments before obj's tenure.
Re: Eastern Palm University To Offer Automatic Scholarship To Outstanding Jambites by Nobody:
This is good but that school won't give them quality education, it's just to destroy the intelligent brains, give them the best schools abroad there your children study.
We have seen how Rochas is reducing Imo State education system to the level of those in South West.
Re: Eastern Palm University To Offer Automatic Scholarship To Outstanding Jambites by juche(m): 6:53am On Nov 01, 2019
I am really sorry for people who are not from IMO state exposing their ignorance on issues they do not know anything about. The said University was built with IMO state money and have been taken over by the present IMO state government. So which school is Rochas going to give the scholarship ? This is the way he continues to scam people. The gullible people will be here shouting up and down how he was a billionaire before. Can any of you tell us what business Rochas have done or where he worked to become a billionaire ?
