\nUneasy calm currently pervades the Imo State University Community following wide spread allegation of admission racketeering through the ongoing online post UTME of the school.
\nTrumpeta investigation reveals that instead of the state Government allowing the Institution to monitor and sale the forms, connived with a contractor (names withheld) who cashed in the opportunity to exploit the prospecting students.
\nApart from the shoddy manner this exercise is being handled, the dubious Government contractor allegedly inflated the cost of the form from four thousand naira (4,000) to the whooping sum of six thousand naira (6,000).
\nRecords available indicate that no fewer than twenty three thousand (23,000) prospective students had already purchased the form as at press time. The implication of this action is that the said contractor has already wrecked in the sum of forty six million naira from the exercise.
\nA staff of the university who spoke to Trumpeta Newspaper under anonymity expressed worry at the trend of events at the institution. Part of his worry is that the action of the said contractor apart from milking the pause of parents and guardians of the candidates, will at the end of the day short change many of them who will definitely not get the admission after all.
\n\u201cI wonder why Governor Okorocha contracted this exercise to his stooge even as the university has its ICT Centre ably managed by Rev. Fr Igboanusi where such activities of the Institution are usually carried out. As I speak to you, some of the candidates are already complaining in writing to the school authorities over either omitted names or photographs\u201d.
\nContinuing he alleged that, \u201cMany candidates will be disappointed at the end of the exercise. What is the rationale behind the additional two thousand naira (N2,000) for the form? Honestly this exercise is purely the job of the university to avoid duplication of issues\u201d.
\n\u201cImo State University is gradually dying. Governor Okorocha appears to be the Vice Chancellor of the school now. He visits very often to give one directive or the other under the pretext of his free education programme. And for now, Imo indigenes get only 30% admission into the school with non-indigenes making up the remaining 70% which is the opposite of the old order in the school\u201d.
\nHe also frowned at the care free attitude of the acting Vice Chancellor, Dr Adaobi Obasi whom she said comes to the office briefly whenever she wants leaving heaps of files in her office unattended to.
\nWhen contacted over the telephone for his reaction to the allegations, the Public Relations officer of the school Nze Ralph Njokuobi declined comments over the telephone but rather requested that our correspondent visit in person. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
