Students of Imo State origin have applauded Governor Hope Uzodimma for the huge investments he is making in the education sector, thus securing the future for the youths.
They
were particularly impressed that the State Government under Uzodimma is
currently funding three universities with vast opportunities for employment as
well as admission placements.
Addressing
a news conference in Owerri on the State of education in Imo State since
the Governor assumed office, the students under the agies of Association of Imo
State Students, noted that from one University Uzodimma inherited in 2020, he
has increased it to three in addition to a Polytechnic and a College of Education.
According
to the President of the association, Comrade Umuokoro Udechukwu Mavis, the
students are overjoyed that the governor is paying adequate attention to the
education sector.
They
averred that apart from recovering the KO Mbadiwe University from those who
looted Imo patrimony, Uzodimma quickly set up the Imo State University of
Agriculture and Environmental Sciences, a brand new Polytechnic at Omuma as
well as the activation of the Ben Uwajimogu College of Education, Ihitte Uboma
and the Schools of Nursing and Midwifery at Aboh Mbaise and Omuma.
According
to Mavis, the Imo State University has been strengthened with National
University Commission's (NUC) accreditation of more than 95 percent of courses
in the institution with the concomitant increase in students' enrollment.
They
students were also happy that Governor Uzodimma has continued to pay salaries
of staff in the education sector even when the lecturers were on strike for
eight months last year just as tuition remains free to all Imo indigenes.
The
students reiterated that Uzodimma has done exceedingly well, not only in the
education sector but in other sectors, hence their unqualified support for his
re-election.
They
therefore called on all youths in the State to rally round the governor to
ensure that he is returned to office during the November 2023 governorship
election.
