Upon the emergence of Senator Hope Uzodinma in 2020,she was again sacked and Mrs Hannah Offor was appointed to hold sway.
It was gathered that Mrs Morah Chuks Okoro who retired in September 2021 but has refused to give way for younger people is said to have made her self a willing tool to run down the current provost of the Nursing school through blackmails.
Moran Chuks Okoro was Director of Administration and General Services, at Government House, Owerri from where she was appointed a Permanent Secretary.
The source further disclosed that “After her retirement as Permanent Secretary, she was granted 6 months extension of service which elapsed several months ago.

Duru is said to be the person blackmailing and doing all kinds of things to remove Mrs Hannah Offor despite having a very controversial, turbulent and chequered tenure as Provost of the School.
Another source at the Ministry of Education who pleaded anonymity told this reporter that, “the school of Nursing and Midwifery is not under the Ministry of Health but under the Ministry of Education. But their major plot is rubbish and discredit and frustrate a hard working woman who has within a very short time as Provost, transformed the institution, restored the confidence of staff and students in addition to sanitizing the system.
They are reported to have boasted openly that, “we will sponsor more damaging publications against current Provost and ensure she to enable Duru resume as Provost even when students don’t want her.
