Imo State To Establish Three New Universities by naijacann: 3:14am On Feb 16, 2012 |
OWERRI-The controversial relocation plan of Imo State University, IMSU, Owerri, to Governor Rochas Okorocha's country home, Ogboko, may have come to an abrupt end, as government has said it will now establish three universities in each of the three senatorial zones of the state. Okorocha announced the new arrangement in his "State of Imo" address, which he presented on Tuesday at Heroes Square, Owerri. "It is also the desire of this administration to establish three universities in the three senatorial zones and I believe this would bring the needless controversy over relocation of Imo State University to a closure," Okorocha said. On the current industrial action by the institution's Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, the governor said his administration was taking steps to resolve the impasse so that normal academic activities could commence. "We are, however, concerned about some financial transactions that took place in the university and, in particular, the borrowing of N800 million from a commercial bank, which has remained a burden to the university," Okorocha said. He announced that students of Imo State origin studying in IMSU shall be entitled to a scholarship of N100,000 each as against the subsisting payment of not more than N50,000 as fees by each student. "Appropriate benchmarks shall be set for acceptable performance and students who fail to achieve the set benchmarks each year, shall have the scholarship discontinued," Okorocha said. http://odili.net/news/source/2012/feb/15/320.html |

My personal opinion is that I would prefer the people in-charge to use the fund to upgrade the universities already in the state. For example, buying great learning equipments for FUTO,IMSU, etc. I hold the same view towards any other state or private university owners. I don't know about you but I am getting tired of quantity instead of quality |

Re: Imo State To Establish Three New Universities by inene: 12:56pm On Feb 16, 2012 |
I AM A FAN OF THE GOVERNOR BUT I DONT THINK THE WAY TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE OF RELOCATING THE STATE UNIVERSITY IS BY ESTABLISHING THREE UNIVERSITIES. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE PROBLEM OF THE STATE IS THE ESTABLISHMENT OF MORE UNIVERSITIES. A UNIVERSITY IS NOT A SECONDARY SCHOOL. HE SHOULD RETHINK THIS ESPECIALLY WITH REGARDS TO FUNDING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A NEW UNIVERSITY. HE HAS TOO MANY THINGS AND SHOULD TAKE THINGS EASY. THE RELOCATION OF THE UNIVERSITY TO HIS VILLAGE IS EVEN UNNECESSARY NOW AS THE MONEY TO BUILD A NEW CAMPUS SHOULD BE USED FOR BETTER THINGS. THERE ARE SEVERAL ISSUES BEGGING ATTENTION IN IMO STATE AND THE GOVERNOR SHOULD FACE THEM SQUARELY. NOTHING SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO DISTRACT HIM FROM ACTUALIZING HIS GOOD INTENTIONS FOR THE STATE. |

Running universities cost money. |
Re: Imo State To Establish Three New Universities by GWslim(f): 1:34pm On Feb 16, 2012 |
Funding is the greatest challenge for universities in Nigeria and this should be soughted out before commencement rather than senatorial favoritism. |

so far i av been ok with Rochas but i think this is a foolish idea |

"It is also the desire of this administration to establish three universities in the three senatorial zones and I believe this would bring the needless controversy over relocation of Imo State University to a closure," Okorocha said. Surely, he meant he plans to create the enabling conditions for three new universities to be created and nothing more? If he actully had the state and not the private sector in mind when he made this remark, I would say the brain was not fully engaged. |
Re: Imo State To Establish Three New Universities by desertboom(m): 2:32pm On Feb 16, 2012 |
This man tori tori don dey tire me o. . . . . . How can Mr. Governor establish more new universities when the state govt. Has failed to properly fund and re-structure the existing one? |
Re: Imo State To Establish Three New Universities by Mortiple(m): 2:44pm On Feb 16, 2012 |
desertboom:Gov Rochas Okorocha is such a noise maker. I can't count how many promises he has made since he came to power; yet how many has he fulfilled. God save him from those 'Nkwobi and Isiewu advisers' of his that are gradually leading his government to perdition. |
Re: Imo State To Establish Three New Universities by pssword: 2:54pm On Feb 16, 2012 |
Why doesn't he invest in the current universities in the state and bring it up to world class institutions? Why create another substandard university just to satisfy political equations, What a waste of money. |
Re: Imo State To Establish Three New Universities by kutchs: 2:55pm On Feb 16, 2012 |
As a citizen of Imo State, I feel sad that Rochas has turned the state into his personal foundation. How on earth is he supposed to fund this 3 new universities at a time IMSU is begging for upgrade. How is he going to sustain the payment of N100000 to students given the huge number of skul. Rochas shud tell himself d truth. |
Re: Imo State To Establish Three New Universities by macob(m): 2:59pm On Feb 16, 2012 |
rochas is not serious. go to imsu and see how bad a university can be and he is talking of building new ones. BONE DAT MATA ABEG |

Re: Imo State To Establish Three New Universities by mbulela: 4:11pm On Feb 16, 2012 |
This man is a character. you solve the controversy over relocation by opening 3 new universities. I am sure when he has a quarrel with his wife, he marries 3 new ones instead of settling the rift. The process with which leaders are chosen in our polity needs to be reassessed. Something is fundamentally wrong with it. |
Re: Imo State To Establish Three New Universities by donclemo(m): 5:06pm On Feb 16, 2012 |
I agree with Establishing new universities besides he is not the cause of the bad condition at the present university. the University lacks poor management and there is nothing much a governor can do about that. we all know the problem in Nigeria is fewer universities. i can't imagine a classroom meant for 50 students is used for 300 students. |
Re: Imo State To Establish Three New Universities by dayokanu(m): 6:15pm On Feb 16, 2012 |
I think Imo already have 2 Universities FUTO and IMSU why do they need 3 additional ones |

dayokanu:Because two universities in one state is not enough and besides not every Nigerian like sufferness (i mean 200 people in a class meant for 30 people ) |
