unani-mously approved a re-or-dered supplementary budget of
N23,752,610,557 for the year ended 2014.
Raising the motion before her colleagues, the Major-ity Leader of the
House and member representing Ahiazu Mbaise state constituency, Mrs.
Adaku Ihuoma, urged members of the House to give accelerated passage
to the supplementary budget, as this would accord the executive the
necessary support in carry-ing out its duties in the interest of the
people of the state.
This was just as the House amended the law establish-ing the proposed
Imo Turkish University and re-named it Imo State Claretian
Univer-sity, Onuimo-Okigwe, follow-ing lack of commitment by the
Turkish stakeholders, who had earlier indicated interest in the
university project.
Contributing to the amend-ment bill, the member rep-resenting Isu
state constitu-ency, Ikenna Emeh, said the amendment in the name of
the proposed institution became necessary due to al-leged
non-commitment of the Turkish stakeholders, who were supposed partners
in the establishment of the institu-tion. He stated that the order of
the Claretian missionary had shown enough interest in partnering with
the state gov-ernment towards ensuring that the university was
established.
The House also amended the law establishing the Imo State College of
Education (Technical) to become the Imo State College of Education,
Ihitte-Uboma.
Contributing to the bill, the member for Isiala Mbano state
constituency, Simeon Iwunze, explained to the House that the amendment
to the bill estab-lishing the institution would give it a wider scope,
both in admission and in attracting the necessary logistics needed for
its sustainability.
