Male and female students living together in the same room and hostels is now a thing of the past in Imo State University, Owerri.
The Vice Chancellor of the University Prof Mrs Adaobi Obasi made this known when she visited Imo First Lady Hon Lady Ebere Ihedioha in Government House Owerri. According to the Vice Cancellor, IMSU is now having two female hostels for the first time since the Institution was established.
