IMSU STUDENTS ARE WELCOME TO EASTERN PALM UNIVERSITY OGBOKO -says Gov. Rochas
The state government and ASUU have failed to come to an agreement over the ongoing strike, that has kept the students at home for more than one month.
In response to the expectations of ASUU (IMSU CHAPTER)for the Governor Owelle Rochas Okorocha, to pay up their three months salary arrears as at Friday 22,April 2016, the Governor has said that students of Imo State University are welcome to continue their education in their different Departments and at their different levels in his Eastern Palm University at Ogboko.
In his own words "My government can not be toyed with by any Union. Since ASUU has refused to see reasons with the government to do the needful, then they shouldn't expect the government to dance to their own tune. ASUU lacks understanding. I'm not unaware that this strike action is a strategy to ruin my free education policy. My Dear children of Imo State University, please move your things to Eastern Palm University Ogboko, it is large enough to accommodate all of you. Remember, ASUU is the one turning a stumbling stone to your education not me."
According to the situations currently on ground, it's likely that the strike which has lasted for a month and some days wouldn't be called off soon. They leaders of various faculties and SUG executives has promised to take some steps towards the ongoing strike, to plead with the state government and ASUU members to come to an agreement so that the students can go back to school. They have also advised the students to pray and remain calm.
