The Colleges of Education Academic Staff Union (COEASU) has called on Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, to urgently address the alleged mismanagement at the Benjamin Uwajumogu State College of Education in Ihitte Uboma to avert a potential breakdown of law and order.

In a statement issued on Tuesday in Owerri, COEASU Chairman Comrade Wilson Amandi and Secretary Rev. Fr. (Comrade) Benedict Amuchie highlighted their concerns and threatened industrial action within two weeks if the issues remain unresolved.

The union accused the Acting Provost, Dr. Chinyere Nwachukwu, of abuse of power and violating due process in awarding contracts. They further alleged that Dr. Nwachukwu has been in an acting capacity for 30 months but has only released imprest for five months to directors, deans, and Heads of Departments. These officials, according to the union, have been using personal funds to prepare accreditation documents and handle logistics since March 2024 without reimbursement.

COEASU urged the governor to intervene promptly to address these grievances and ensure proper management of the institution.

The provost was also accused of single-handedly procuring items and awarding TETFund contracts without the involvement of the academic deans and HODs or following due process.“She also awards TETFund contracts in the college without following the Procurement Act 2007 guidelines and has awarded over N1.5 billion in contracts without a Tender Board, which comprises academic deans and HODs,” the union claimed.

The union also said l Nwachukwu solely assessed TETFund for microteaching laboratory equipment without consulting the HOD of the relevant office.
It claimed that TETFund projects executed under her watch are poorly designed and implemented and do not align with the college’s development plan.
“The academic staff of the college is not considered in the scheme of activities, including project monitoring, which she conducts solely with the TETFund team,” the statement read in part.“The college’s neglect and abandonment of projects have made it unattractive to students.

“Rather than engage other management staff, the provost prefers to rely solely on the services of the acting registrar.

“Without any known offence, report, or directive from the governor, the provost wrote to the acting bursar, instructing him to hand over to a new appointee from the Imo Ministry of Housing Corporation.

“The union reminded the provost that the college is autonomous and not part of the ministry and therefore does not accept staff from any ministry.

“We also reminded her that the acting bursar’s appointment was a political one by the governing council of the college on behalf of the visitor to the college.

“In spite of our petitions, the provost not only proceeded with the appointment but also forced the acting bursar to hand over to the new bursar in a shocking manner that involved the police.

“Additionally, the provost does not respect the college organogram and disregards hierarchy in the administration, relegating senior academic staff.

“Following her failure to honor the invitation by the Chief of Staff for possible resolution of the crisis, the union may have no other option but to embark on industrial action,” the union threatened.

However, the provost described COEASU’s allegations as “baseless.”
She insisted that “all my actions are based on directives from the state government.”
Speaking in phone interview, Nwachukwu said the college receives directives from the state government, which owns it.
“I take orders from them, and they direct me, especially on TETFund issues,” the provost explained.
“The college and other tertiary institutions in the state work with the Special Adviser to the Governor on TETFund Intervention and other services.
“So, I would not know why someone would claim that I execute all the TETFund projects alone when I cannot do anything without directives from the state government,” she noted.
On the issue of removing the acting bursar, Nwachukwu stated that since the college does not have a governing council, the Honorable Commissioner oversees the institution’s affairs.
“How can I be accused of removing an erring bursar who went as far as sending threatening messages to me?” she asked.

  1. Manche Erbauer schaffen es sogar, vollständig funktionsfähige Spielautomaten in einem Raum von nur wenigen Blöcken zu konstruieren. Die
    Kompaktheit ist ein weiterer Aspekt, den viele Redstone-Enthusiasten bei ihren Spielautomaten-Designs berücksichtigen. So gibt es beispielsweise
    Versuche, Poker-Automaten zu bauen, die Karten austeilen und Gewinnkombinationen erkennen können. Ein faszinierender Trend in der Redstone-Community ist die Entwicklung von Spielautomaten, die auf realen Casino-Spielen basieren. Für fortgeschrittene
    Redstone-Ingenieure gibt es die Herausforderung, Spielautomaten zu
    bauen, die echte Zufallsergebnisse erzeugen.
    Diese Mechanismen erfordern eine präzise Planung
    und Umsetzung, um sicherzustellen, dass die Auszahlungen fair und verhältnismäßig sind.
    Ein weiterer interessanter Aspekt von Redstone-Spielautomaten ist die Integration von Belohnungssystemen. Die Einfachheit dieser Maschinen macht sie zu einem guten Einstiegspunkt
    für Spieler, die sich zum ersten Mal an Redstone-Spielautomaten versuchen. Besonders faszinierend sind die ausgeklügelten Spielautomaten, die mit
    Hilfe von Redstone konstruiert werden können.
    Diese Multifunktionsautomaten können Spielern die Wahl zwischen verschiedenen Glücksspielen bieten, von einfachen Würfelspielen bis hin zu komplexeren Kartenspielen wie Blackjack.
    Durch das Bauen von Redstone-Spielautomaten können Schüler praktische Erfahrungen sammeln und komplexe technische Konzepte auf spielerische Weise erlernen. Sie fördern die
    Interaktion zwischen den Spielern und bieten einen Ort, an dem sich die Community treffen und
    gemeinsam spielen kann. Solche Automaten steigern die Interaktivität und den Wiederspielwert erheblich, da
    sie eine Vielzahl von Unterhaltungsmöglichkeiten bieten. Die Wahrscheinlichkeiten etwas zu
    gewinnen kann man über die Verteilung der Gegenstände in den Spendern einstellen. Eine zweite
    Reihe von Redstone-Lampen zeigen wie voll die Truhe ist,
    denn wäre der Spender leer gäbe es ja nichts mehr zu
    gewinnen.
