Education is one of the top priorities of Governor Soludo’s government. Demonstrating this, the working governor who is popularly called Oluatuegwu, has started erecting multiple units of hostels in Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University (COOU) Uli campus.
It was observed that accomodation issue has been one of the highest challenges faced by the students, within and outside the school premises, reason, the working governor deemed it very necessary to start such a huge project, to ease accomodation problems for the students.
When contacted, one of the site managers of the project, who pleaded anonymity, because he is not in the position to give account of the project, said that the carrying capacity of the hostels will accommodate many students.
According to one Chinenye Obiada who studies Computer Engineering, the hostels will go a very long way in solving accomodation problems to the students.
In his own words, Emeka Udemmadu who is in Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department said that many students are up to three or four in a room, which posed a very big problem for relaxation and home learning.
Speaking, Ebele Ezenwa said that a learned society is an organized and wealthy society. So the housing project is a very welcomed development.
Reacting to the project, Ejike Okafor of Mechanical Engineering said that the project will help cut the cost of accomodation, because most students that live off campus pay heavily for just small rooms, that don’t worth the price.
Many students showed their joy and solidarity with the working governor, for the huge housing development.
