Imo State? students? in tertiary institutions would soon join their counterparts in the primary and post primary schools in benefiting from the free education offered by Governor Rochas Okorocha administration in the state.
Governor Rochas Okorocha made this known while presenting this year’s budget to the state House of Assembly recently.
In realization of this aim, the state government had slashed the tuition fees paid in tertiary institutions in the state to a ‘reasonable amount’.
Meanwhile, the state government has reiterated its determination to relocate the Imo state University, Owerri (IMSU) to its permanent site in Orlu local government area of the state.
The reason for the relocation, according to the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, barrister Obinna Duru, was to decongest Owerri which had already three tertiary institutions located in the city.
