The Imo State University, Owerri, has completed the construction of its hostels thereby making it a residential institution 38 years after it was established.
The Vice-Chancellor of the university, Professor Adaobi Obasi disclosed this at the 27th matriculation ceremony of the institution over the weekend.
Obasi stated that the university which was officially a non-residential institution had now become residential with the construction of three blocks of hostel, two for female students and one for the males.
