Okorocha threatens to privatise IMSU over striking workers

OWERRI—IMO State Government has warned
that it would be forced to recruit new set of
academic and non-academic staff for Imo
State University, IMSU, as well as concession
the institution if the workers fail to call off
their strike.
Governor Rochas Okorocha, who read the riot
act in Owerri, was also of the opinion that the
emoluments of IMSU staff was higher than
what obtains in other state universities in the
South-East geo-political zone.
He said: “A comparative analysis has been
made with other state universities in the
South-East zone and it was discovered that
Imo pays far more than other states. IMSU
workers only argued that the institution offers
qualitative studies than the other state-owned
universities in the South-East.”
While admitting that he made an earlier
promise of N800 million to the school, the
Governor, however, warned that the non-
redemption of the promise is not enough
reason to shut down the university.
He said: “Honestly, if the workers fail to call
off the strike, I will hire new teachers and
concession the university to any willing
investor, in the interest of our children.
“I have discovered that most IMSU lecturers
are not happy with the free education
programme of my administration. They want it
to fail. Perhaps, they want the students to pay
school fees and this is not what I am
prepared to accommodate.”

A building collapsed at the early hours of Sunday at about  3am  at Egbu road just opposite the police station at Fire Service in Owerri. According to reports about 6 people were rescued alive while about 4 people are feared dead. I have videos of were dead bodies are been pulled out. The governor came around to inspect the Collapsed Building and he directed that the old building beside it with a green roof should be demolished also because it's owned by same owner of the Collapsed Building since that same building has already been marked by OCDA as a building dat wud also collapsed soon. From what I saw, the materials used in constructing the building wasn't upto to standard. No chippings rather it was local stones that was used. It was also reported that the building was suppose to be 2 storey but was but out of Greed it was made 3 storey. My name is Kelly Bobor incase u want further information.
