Governor of Imo State, Emeka
Ihedioha has reversed the status of the newly converted Imo State University of
Agriculture and Technology, Umuagwo, to its earlier polytechnic status.
The immediate past governor of
the state, Rochas Okorocha, at the end of his administration elevated the
polytechnic to a university status and appointed a Vice Chancellor.
Okorocha moved the polytechnic to
Ehime Mbano Local Government Area of the state.
However, in a statement issued by
the Secretary to the state government, Uche Onyeagucha on Monday, the governor
reversed the institution to its original status and ordered for the reopening
at its initial location.
Ihedioha then appointed an acting
rector, following the retirement of Wance Madu.
The statement reads “The visitor
to Imo State Polytechnic, Umuagwo and the Governor of Imo State, His
Excellency, Rt. Hon Emeka Ihedioha CON, has directed the immediate reopening of
Imo State Polytechnic, Umuagwo for normal academic activities.
“Resultant upon the expiration of
the tenure of the Rector who has since proceeded on terminal leave, the most
senior academic staff in the Polytechnic Dr. Paddy N. Njoku is hereby appointed
the Acting Rector of the Polytechnic effective from today June 10, 2019.
“The Polytechnic community and
all Stakeholders thereof are advised to cooperate and accord him all necessary
support.”
