The Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, has said that the best gift that can be given to any child is providing them with free education that will help them attain maximum height in their desired endeavours.
The Governor said this during the 7th convocation ceremony of the Imo State University in Owerri the Imo State capital.
He said that the Imo State government remains committed to the free education programme which has benefitted many families.
The Governor urged Nigerian universities to invest more in vocational and skill acquisition programmes that will produce graduates that will be employers of labour rather than job seekers.
The Governor rewarded the overall best graduating student, Chigozie Ekenze from the Optometry Department with the sum of two million naira, a scholarship abroad for post graduate studies and an instant appointment as a lecturer in the Imo State University.
