ALL AN ASPIRANT SHOULD KNOW ABOUT IMSU
Every year, over 80,000 students apply for admission into one course or the other in the Imo State University Owerri, it will shock you to know that only about 3000-4000 of those students eventually get admitted.
For aspirants who hail from Imo State, you should know by now that the Imo State government will offer you free education if you get admitted into the institution. For non-indigenes of the state, IMSU is one of the state universities I will recommend because their fees is not as exorbitant as obtainable in other state owned universities in the country.
