For the first time this Ochendo of a Governor is getting it right, slashing Absu fees by a whooping 20% as reported this morning by different online newspapers, enjoy.

The education friendly Governor of Abia state, Chief Theodore Orji, has approved 20 per cent reduction across board in the school fees of students of Abia State University, Uturu.

In a statement signed by Secretary to Abia State Government, Professor Mkpa Agu Mkpa, Governor Orji said the gesture was to boost education in the state.

“Following the present economic crunch in the country occasioned by the oil prices in the international market, as a result of which students of ABSU and their patents are in great difficulty coping with the demands of their school fees in the institution, His Excellency, the Governor of Abia State, Chief T.A. Orji as a demonstration of his sympathy with the plight of the students, their parents and guardians, has magnanimously approved the reduction of school fees payable by all students in Abia State University by 20 per cent across the board.

“This kind gesture of His Excellency seeks to ameliorate the hardship currently being experience by parents and students as a result of the said oil price fluctuations. Government therefore expects the staff, students and management of Abia State University, Uturu, to reciprocate the Governor’s kindness by remaining disciplined and law abiding at all times.”.

Welcome development, how about Esut bikonu.
Today is first and am first to comment hehe, hehe patient Dog, happy Xmas to you all. 042 here I come.

Elechi of Ebonyi state will never think in that direction.

election things...rubbish

For ESUTH and Ebonyi state University, infact for all other state Uni's I suggest they use it as a bait for all the. Various Governorship standard bearers just like Ekiti state, who knows, if some of them eventually wins, they may decide to implement it. I think the cost of Education in Nigeria now, calls for serious attention. Increment upon increment without a corresponding increase in the salary of workers, I wonder if its part of the Austerity Measures. God help the poor masses because they are usually the people that are mostly affected

Good move even if its cos of Election

Is he APC or PDP

Stupid T A orji.....owing pensioners for complete four months now.....he thinks with his balls.....may amadioha strike him

Try harder ...in Imo state it's freeeee from primary to tertiary!! Why won't the indigenes be happy

Gudnews, He who opens a school door, closes a prison. The foundation of every state is the education of its youth.if those f.ools that are busy suicide bombing themselves where educated I don't think all these would be happening.

Everybody is slashing Ooº°

Nigerian politicians would give the devil a run for his money any day any time.
