Governor Rochas Okorocha’s dream of having a world class university
in his home town of Ogboko, in Ideato-South local government area of Imo
state, may have materialized with the building of Eastern Palm
University.
But questionable managerial skills are now robbing the University of a smooth take-off.
Plans
to begin academic activities at the University last November failed to
materialize due to the delay by the National Universities Commission
(NUC) to give its final nod to courses so far listed for operation.
However,
when the nod was finally given, it became apparent that the university
may never take off due to management issues which pitched the first Vice
Chancellor, Prof. Linus Osuagwu, poached from American University of
Nigeria (AUN) in Yola, Adamawa state, against pro-chancellor of the
university, Nonye Rajis-Okpara, a former Nigerian envoy to Singapore.
The
management disagreements, which included alleged recruitment of top
level management staff with questionable academic credentials by the
pro-chancellor, were said to have made Prof. Osuagwu quietly walk away.
