IMSU

Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha says free education is the best gift that can be given to any child, as this will help them attain maximum height in their desired endeavours.

Speaking during the 7th convocation ceremony of the Imo State University in Owerri, the Imo State capital, the governor said that the Imo State government remains committed to the free education programme which has benefitted many families.

He urged Nigerian universities to invest more in vocational and skill acquisition programmes that will produce graduates that will be employers of labour rather than job seekers.

Okorocha rewarded the overall best graduating student, Chigozie Ekenze from the Optometry Department with the sum of N2 million, a scholarship abroad for post graduate studies and an instant appointment as a lecturer at the Imo State University.
