The Real News!! EDO STATE GOVERNOR Gives A Press Statement On The Current Uniben Protest!!

This just came in .......


UNIBEN got 3-yr notice to vacate govt property,
says Oshiomhole
Governor Adams Oshiomhole has said that the
state Government served authorities of the
University of Benin a notice, three years ago, to
vacate eighteen properties belonging to the Edo
State Government, but rather than vacate, they
took the government to court.
The Governor said to fulfill all righteousness, the
government waited for the court to deliver
judgment, which it did on December 16, last year,
ordering the university authorities to vacate the
said properties "forthwith" ruling that the 18
properties belonged to the state government.
According to him, having waited from December
16, 2014 for the illegal tenants to vacate the
properties and they refused, the government took
steps granted by the court to recover the
properties in the interest of the people of the
state.
Fielding questions from journalists on the issue,
Tuesday, Oshiomhole said as the Governor, he has
a duty and responsibility to hold in trust and
protect all assets belonging to the People of Edo
State that are entrusted to the government of the
State.
He said, "As the Governor of this state, I have
responsibility and duty to protect the interest and
assets of Edo State and those properties are not
in the names of any individual. They are in the
names of Edo State Government and we cannot
fold our hands and allow individuals to continue
to occupy properties belonging to Edo State
Government and paying rents to the wrong
authority. I remain firm that if the interest of Edo
State is involved, I must stand firm and execute it
without fear or favor and that is exactly what we
have done."
Giving a background on how the properties got to
the university authorities, he said: "As I am sure
you will recall, when UNIBEN was set up, the then
Military Governor, Dr. Samuel Ogbemudia, in his
wisdom, decided as a young institution to assist
some of the officers and staff with accommodation
and so, some houses were made available them.

Edo State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Henry Idahagbon also challenged the University of Benin management to show proof of the claimed Stay of Execution Order the university is claiming to have served the State Government. He even went the length to say if they can provide it,he would resign his position.

Hmmmmm as @ this point in time UNIBEN STUDENTS. Wat do u you all suggest the solution would be.
