How Okorocha reacted to protest against establishment of new university in Imo
He said the protest was being sponsored by some unpatriotic leaders in Ohaji/Egbema Local Government Area and some hostel owners in the area.
He said: “The attention of my government has been drawn to the misleading and inciting protest by some youths of Ohaji/Egbema LGA over the relocation of the state polytechnic. “It is very bad that the youths have allowed themselves to be used for protest against the development of the state, otherwise why will any sensible youth protest against sitting of a university in their area?’’
He announced that the structure of Imo Polytechnic Umuagwo would house the new university, while the Polytechnic would be relocated to Ehime/Mbano Local Government Area .
