University of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences Umuagwo
The University of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences was initially planned to take-off at the premises of Imo State Polytechnic Umuagwo (with the main campus to be at the Aboh/Okpala former proposed campus of the Old Imo State University) according to the establishment law No. 4 of 2019 as gazetted. However, this plan was reversed by Government following total rejection of this arrangement by the academic staff of the Polytechnic that coopted host communities, which was evident in the violent demonstration that disrupted activities in the Umuagwo campus of the Polytechnic for several weeks. During the same period, the earlier proposed Aboh/Okpala main campus was given tremendous facelift and the University of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences was billed to take off at Aboh/Okpala.
The government of Imo State led by H.E, Hope Uzodimma(CRF) after resolving all existing issues, has moved the main campus back to Umuagwo.
