Governor Chukwuma Soludo says Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, Uli Campus will start enjoying power supply after twenty-one years of being without electricity.
Angel Network News (ANN) reports that Soludo made the promise during his one-day working visit to the campus in Ihiala Local Government Area of Anambra State.
According to the Governor, Uli as a community will equally benefit from the intervention when completed.
Soludo said that even though the campus environment is orderly, it needs serious infrastructure upgrade.
While stressing the importance of having access to internet, the Governor also promised to provide access to internet and WiFi in public places within the campus, expressing optimism that it will further deepen their access to the digital world.
He called on the community to make efforts to protect the institution.
“We have to work out plan to connect power back to Uli and the campus.
“Uli campus is not forgotten. Our party mantra and governing ideology is leave no one behind.
“Education is the future and the foundation of Anambra, that is why we are investing in human capital that is productive at home and exportable abroad. We must deliberately invest in qualitative education. Yes! We are paying serious attention to quality.
“To do this, we also have the PPCP framework. Today’s world is about what you can do, not just the certificate you possess. Digitalisation will give this campus an advantage.
“We will also begin the gradual construction of the internal roads in the campus.
The Commissioner for Education, Prof. Ngozi Chuma-Udeh and the Acting Vice Chancellor of the institution, Prof. Kate Omenugha in their separate speeches
gave assurance of their unalloyed prayer and support for the Governor who she described as education-friendly.
They thanked the Governor for visiting as well as the support he has given to them, including their accreditation.
“We are developing our strategic vision.
There are so many abandoned projects in the campus. If we propel this Uli campus, it’ll translate to the Japan of Africa”.
