Imo State Governor, Emeka Ihedioha, has declared that his administration would give priority to vocational and technical education in a bid to tackle unemployment.
The commissioner for Education, Prof. Viola Adaku Onwuliri, stated this during a visit to the State College of Education, Ihitte Uboma.
Onwuliri said the government planned to achieve its target by revamping the four Technical Colleges neglected by ex-governor Rochas Okorocha.
Addressing the management, the Commissioner, who was accompanied by some top officers of the Ministry, also stated that Government was making every effort to ensure that the College moves to its permanent site, as soon as possible.
