Imo State Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha has appealed to the governor-elect of the state, Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha to strive to continue the Free Education policy initiated by his out-going administration.

The governor who made the appeal when the new manager of Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport, Mrs. Rejoice Ndudinachi paid him a courtesy call at the Government House over the weekend also urged Ihedioha to keep alive the over one thousand projects he embarked upon between 2011 and 2019.

He said: “My appeal has remained that there are certain things I would want to remain continued. One of them is  free education. I want to appeal to the in-coming government in the name of God not to stop free education in this land.

“Free education represents our indirect empowerment to the widows and the poor in the society. Free education helps children who cannot afford School fees. Free education has helped wipe away the tears of suffering widows.

“Free education must never be allowed to stop in this land and if that stops, criminal activities will come back again in geometrical progression and crime rate will rise and that should not be good for the state.

“If they do not know how to do it, I will offer my services free of charge to be sure that free education continues in Imo State. And for the peace we are enjoying now to continue, the youth must continue to be made useful.”
