\"student<\/a>
\nThe free education policy of the Okorocha led government in Imo State came under fire yesterday when a group of students drawn from various higher institutions in the state marched on a street protest where they assembled at the Government House, Owerri, to express their grievances about free education and bursary.
\nAccording to the students numbering more than 500 hundred who in the early hours of Thursday marched through Wethedral Road to Douglas House expressed reservations about Free Education which they said is ashamed, deceit and only meant to achieve political gain.
\nAccording to one of the students’ leaders who spoke to newsmen, Comrade Stanley Peters Uwachezue, their grouse is the misapplication of the free education which should have been bursary for Imo students in all tertiary schools across the country.
\nSaid he \u201cOkorocha got it wrong to declare free education for students in IMSU and Imopoly only. We are all part of Imo people. Those in FUTO, ALVAN and Fed Poly Nekede and others should be part of the exercise\u201d.
\nThe students who chanted solidarity songs somehow disrupted business activities within Government House Complex until security operatives were drafted in to maintain clam and peace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
