Dear Oga Dr. Akinola:
Gov. Okorocha's antics and mischievousness aside, I hope your outrage about "glorified secondary schools" equally applies to the ones that lie literally 10 kilometers apart between Owo (Ondo State) and Imota (Ogun State), including one of them that proudly displays a US degree mill as its international affiliation?
Okey Iheduru
Peace as always!

He further said that the state government would provide the infastructure, while the partners would provide funding for the running of the universities.

The governor, however, said that the new universities would be run by partnering organisation which, according to him, will be allowed to charge tuition fees.
He also said that four new pplytechnics have been establised in the state to suppprt the universities in providing tertiary education in the state.
The polytechnics are Mbonu Ojike Polytechnic, Arondizuogu, Ahiara Polytechnic, Ahiazu Mbaise, Ehime Politechnic, Ehime Mbano and Bishop Shanahan Hospital, Orlu.
Okorocha lauded the state House of Assembly for providing the legislative backing for the establishment of the institutions.
He said that modalities had been put in place for the sustenance of the current tuition-free education in the state after his exit. (NAN)
