*Encomiums for Minister of State for Education, Rt Hon Opiah Over Fed Poly Nekede Second Campus in Egbema*

The Minister of State for Education, Rt Hon Goodluck Nanah Opiah has received enormous praises for the second campus granted the Federal Polytechnic, Nekede, Owerri, Imo State at Abaezi, Egbema, in Ohaji/Egbema LGA of Imo State.

The Federal Government some weeks ago graciously made available the Skills Acquisition Centre premises in Abaezi, Egbema, the homestead of Rt Hon Opiah, built by the Federal Ministry of Niger Delta, a second campus of the Federal Polytechnic, Nekede.

In appreciation of the efforts of the Minister of State for Education in the realization of this giant stride, the management of the institution led by the Rector, Engr Dr Micheal C.Arimanwa expressed happiness on the efforts of the Minister of States for Education for giving Poly Nekede a second campus after more than three decades of existence.

The institution in a letter of appreciation to the Minister signed by Engr Dr Arimanwa, during the thank you visit to his office at the Federal Ministry of Education in Abuja, disclosed that the priceless assistance Rt Hon Opiah rendered cannot be overlooked in the acquisition of the second campus.

The letter reads “the Governing Council, Management, Staff and Students of Federal Polytechnic Nekede profoundly appreciate the Honourable Minister of Education (State) Rt Hon Goodluck Nanah Opiah for the invaluable assistance rendered to us in the acquisition of the second campus at Abaezi, Egbema In Imo State

“The news of the approval of the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari to bequeath an already built-up campus to our institution was received with a lot of joy and fanfare”

The Fed Poly Nekede team on the visit showcased joy over the efforts of Rt Hon Opiah who was instrumental to the acquisition of the second campus at Abezi, Egbema.

It would be recalled that Rt Hon Opiah during his tenure as Speaker of the Imo State House of Assembly In 2007-2011 ensured that the Imo State State Government converted the Micheal Okpara College Of Agriculture, Umuagwo Ohaji, a monotechnic in his constituency, to Imo State Polytechnic, before recent upgrading to University of Agriculture and Environment Sciences.

Kingsbuchi:



Did election hold in Orlu and Orsu LGAs?

Did Orlu residents come out to vote ??

The results reflects that.

You can only rig effectively if there's a good voters turnout.
Nobody rigged in Orlu the results reflects voting by party agents only same can be said of Orsu LGA.
But ORU EAST that hope Uzodinma rigged had a high voters turnout apart from Awomama where he snatched ballot boxes

Kingsbuchi:


How dare you insult Orlu people? ...Regardless of the fact that we respect you in this thread, anyi bu Ndi Orlu zone will not tolerate any insult from you, know your limits..
We all came out to vote but INEC was nowhere to be found. They were scarcely present in most polling units. Surprisingly we are now seeing results from wards that election didn't take place...
Instead of you to channel your criticisms to Hope Uzodimma and his cohorts who are shamelessly manipulating and scuttling votes in Orlu zone,you are insulting Ndi Orlu..
I am beginning to believe some of the things that Ncheche guy has been saying ..

Take a close look at your results, am not talking Orlu zone, am talking about Orlu LGA, other local government delivered except Orlu and Orsu LGA

Javierleon:


Orlu and okigwe poeple are efulefus.
Argue with your mouth.

Shooting yourselfs in the foot in the name of Biafra then you come to nairaland and ask the government to remember you. Thunder fire you people.

During elections you sit at home and threaten those that want to vote and you think roses will be brought to you.

Got news that arondizuogu did not vote, and they are thumbprinting the ballots for them with APC.
Meanwhile Igbos went around killing and burning people's homes and threatening people that want to vote to sit at home.

Don't mind them Okigwe even tried a lot

Let me see any of them threatening to vote out hope Uzodinma, which PVC will they do that with??

Bunch of efulefus, enslaved by an abroad based fugitives.

Upon all threats ideato nation came out and defended their votes, same with oguta etc

Naniboi17:

You are very stupid

Same as you

longayink:


Who is the Chief executive and security officer in Imo state? Hope Uzodinma.
If you dare insult my people of Orlu again as you are eating Hope Uzodinma's money, thunder and lightening Kara Ka will obliterate you from the face of the earth.
How could Orlu people fetch violence to destroy their city? You know that it's Hope Uzodinma who bought the violent people to Orlu since shortly after he became governor. To prove himself torotoro in the eyes of the people, Hope Uzodinma abandoned every thing govt in Orlu and even relocated some to Owerri.

Orlu residents are efulefus

Making silly excuse for being politically docile

Is it how you will kick out hope Uzodinma on November??

I don't think so

From today all of una are politically irrelevant.

Naniboi17:


Your ignorance is bliss...did INEC officials come to Orlu and people refused to come out?
INEC officials did not come to 80% of the polling units in entire Orlu zone..

Inec came though late like other parts of imo state

Orlu town residents has another chance tomorrow, they should use it wisely, else they are Numero uno Efulefus of igboland

MomentMan:


You don't have to blame them if they didn't come out,rather blame the Government that haven't done much to secure Orlu. My people at Orlu are really suffering,for the past 2 days now ; no movement. Hope needs to discard the useless Ebubeagu he brought to Orlu people. They have caused more harm than good to them.

Pooh it's ebubeagu and no longer ipob criminals enforcing sit at home abi?

If they don't come out and vote, there are politically irrelevant in imo state politics going forward.

There's solid security measures put in place everything is super peaceful

If they don't vote, there are slaves to a fugitive based in Finland and are the true Efulefu in igboland period.

If Orlu residents doesn't come out en mass tomorrow and vote for the peoples president Peter Obi, then that town is filled with senseless and brainless set of human beings in place of the earth.


Please my online pals

Vote Peter Obi tomorrow

When I told ipob idiots in this thread that abroad won't be a safe heaven for you lots you didn't believe it abi

Now what's the latest from Finland

Una lord is currently in the cooler

According to the budget, there's a proposal to establish a zoo at ikeduru LGA.

Maybe that's why the relocation issh, definitely imo state government can't relocate the zoo to Jos haha.

Probably experts were brought in from Jos to facilitate the exercise.

As for the estate development rumors, I believe it's true, the location is too prime for a zoo to be there, it's in the city center axis, should be at the outskirts of the City.

#HURRAY! FEDERAL POLYTECHNIC NEKEDE ACQUIRES SECOND CAMPUS

In another historic feat, the pace-setting Federal Polytechnic Nekede has acquired a second campus. This comes after a period of rigorous effort in this regard by the Rector and his team of Management.

Disclosing this last Thursday, the Rector of the institution, Engr. Dr. Michael Chidiebere Arimanwa, stated that the approval for the new campus had been given by the President, Muhammadu Buhari GCFR, through a letter dated 12th January, 2023.

Located at Egbema, Imo State, the second campus is a finished project with state-of-the-art facilities. It was originally built as a modern skill acquisition centre by the Ministry of Niger Affairs.

A tour on the facility last Thursday by a joint team of officials from the Ministry of Niger Delta and the polytechnic revealed that the site boasts of modern classrooms, workshops, hostels, staff quarters, auditorium and sports complex, among others.

It is expected to contribute significantly to the long-expected expansion of the institution, which has been a leading polytechnic in Nigeria. Ultimately, the new campus is expected to accommodate disciplines that are over 80% practical- oriented.

The formal hand-over ceremony of the second campus is expected to be performed by Mr President in few weeks. After this, some Schools of the institution would be moved to the new campus.The need for a second campus has been on the front burner for some time, prompting the Rector to swing to action on how to solve the problem. There are disciplines in the institution which simply require demonstration sites. For instance, all the disciplines in the School of Agricultural Technology require demonstration farms, by the standards of the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE).

The first revelation on the possibility of a new campus was made last October by the Rector where he stated thus: “My administration is working hard to get a second campus for the polytechnic in view of the limited space for agricultural demonstration and other academic practical activities. The campus will be located at Ohaji/Egbema.

"Essentially, we shall site our agricultural demonstration centre, demonstration centres and skill acquisition centre there. The entrepreneurial centre is envisioned to train and certify people with low qualifications so that they would be skilled and useful to the society in the areas of brick laying, welding and so on. People coming for this type of programme do not necessarily need credit passes in English and Mathematics or other core courses.

"Already, a directorate of skill acquisition has been inaugurated and very soon we shall have students whom we are going to formally train in hands-on skills.”

The news of a second campus for the polytechnic has been described as a landmark development. A stakeholder in the institution has poured encomiums on the Rector, Engr. Dr. Michael Arimanwa and members of his Management for being creative and proactive in repositioning the polytechnic for greatness.

Another stakeholder described the Rector as a pragmatic leader who is full of ideas and innovations on how to make the polytechnic better.

There is a consensus, meanwhile, that the acquisition of a second campus by the polytechnic is of the legacies which the Arimanwa administration is bequeathing to an institution which the Rector has many times described as “my noble almamater”.

In a recent chat with the press, the Rector had further described his journey at the polytechnic thus: “Federal Polytechnic Nekede did not become the best performing polytechnic by chance. A large percentage of my life has been spent here. I schooled here as I obtained both my ND and HND certificates here. I went to the university to acquire further qualifications after which I came back to work here as a staff and now as chief executive. I started schooling here in 1982; that is to tell you how long in have been here.”

Already, preparations for the hand-over ceremony have begun. The Management has constituted a committee for the purpose. It is another date with history for the Rector who has particularly been consistent in making the institution visible through innovative ideas and infrastructural revolution.

There's a sad news circulating about relocating the animals at the Imo zoo to Jos. Workers are currently protesting the decision.

With this happening, there's no single zoo in the whole southeast as that was the last one in the region.

What the heck is wrong with our people. Our lact of sense of maintenance for posterity is very poor.
Tufia

Are you sure this is factual
Cos I haven't heard anything like that

The skill acquisition center built by Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs at Ohaji Egbema LGA has been approved as a second campus for Federal polytechnic Nekede Owerri by PMB, this was disclosed by the Rector of the institution during inspection at the facility. Formal handover will be done in few weeks.


Though the defunct marine university at oguta LGA is been given to futo to relocate it's department of maritime engineering to it.

Kudos to Hope Uzodinma and Rochas okorocha

At least more job opportunities is created

And more abandoned structures put into a good use.

Nchenches:



But comparatively, more soldiers are being planned to be deployed to Imo state where violence started in 2020 before it later spread to other parts of the SE.
And the next Imo guber election shall be specially policed.

Yeah

oilykid:

Yes ,I know.. I think more deployment should be focused on the SE tho

More deployment is expected this week though

oilykid:
Heard that lots of truck load is soldiers have been deployed to imo from enugu 82 division.. other SE states will follow this week

It's nationwide deployment for the election, same in SW and North

Somewhere in uptown

We need better road infrastructures

If you love paint ball game

Alpha Charlie Paint balling Arena is open at Heroes Arena very close to Heroes Square New Owerri

mistacoco2:
Please is the IMO- port harcourt road completed?

I think the few bad spot was taken care of by ferma, am not sure ooo

Maduawuchukwu:
When will we give Hope Uzodimma his flowers? The guy has done quite well especially in road construction and tackling insecurity.

Man is trying, no unbiased individual will fault that, it's left for we imolites to decide whether he deserves second term or not come November 2023.

IGBOSON1:


Go sit your impostor ass down in the corner and STFU! You’re yarning complete shit! Why was Orlu in particular and Imo in general peaceful and a prime investment/tourist destination until the coming of Uzodinma!?

You’re always crawling all over Igbo-themed threads….looking for ways to get Ndigbo to hate Mazi Kanu and IPOB and ‘justify’ the terrorist tag your wicked boss Buhari unjustly pinned on them! This is one propaganda battle you ain’t gonna win!

Ipob criminals feeling funky, una days are numbered, e go shock una no worries including those of you efulefus overseas idiot

Mensamusa:




Yeah I get you,but as much as the state is tilting towards diversification, the mainstay that emblazoned her name globally must be reinvigorated.

That Ihiagwa ongoing bridge project after its completion should serve as a precursor to a green- themed leisure park with a bridge view.

Some random pics

MCC road has just been completed

Focus will shift towards ihiagwa futo road

Though the outstanding stretch of Owerri ring road that connects MCC road to Eke megbu oha River has also been awarded.

The amusement park success stories will spore more investments in that sector am super sure of it.

More hotels is welcomed so far as it's human beings working there and not robots

Mensamusa:



This is really massive.

Did anyone notice the beautiful multistorey building under construction.

I pray it's not a hotel, but rather a shopping plaza or office complex
