Governor Ikpeazu made the pledge on Saturday, October 23, while receiving executives of the Students Union Government of MOUAU, led by their President, Comrade Chukwuma Ogochukwu, at the Governor’s Lodge, Aba.
According to Ikpeazu, the gesture was to assist the university to improve its health facility to be able to provide better quality health services to the students.
The Governor equally directed the State’s Commissioner for Works, Elder Bob Ogu, to engage the contractor handling the Umuahia-Ikot-Ekpene Road in order to ensure that bad spots along the road were fixed, to ease movement of motorists, including heavy duty trucks that ply the road on daily basis.
Governor Ikpeazu while explaining how his administration has taken concrete steps towards uplifting the educational standard of the state, urged the students to be committed to their studies and always adopt dialogue as a strategy in all their engagements.
Earlier in his speech, the SUG President, Comrade Chukwuma Ogochukwu, who described Governor Okezie Ikpeazu as the most student-friendly Governor, said they came to thank him for coming to their rescue when they cried out to him over the deplorable state of the Umuahia-Ikot-Ekpene Road.
He appreciated the Governor for his swift response by ensuring that palliative works were carried out on the road despite the fact that it is a federal road.
In his vote of thanks, the Speaker, Students Representative Council, MOUAU, Chimezie Goodnews, thanked Dr Ikpeazu for the way he was piloting the affairs of the state and for his love for students.
The visit featured presentation of a thank-you letter to the Governor by the students, while the Chief of Staff to the Governor, Prof. Anthony Agbazuere, the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Students Affairs, Comrade Chibuzor Ndom, among other state government officials, were present.
