College Alumni Stranded As Imo Hotel Allegedly Allocates Reserved Rooms To Politicians
A viral video that surfaced on Thursday captured the moment when former students of the Federal Government Girls College, Owerri, traveled to the Imo State capital for their long-awaited reunion only to discover that the hotel had allocated their pre-booked accommodations, reserved months in advance, to politicians.
The video, currently gaining widespread attention, featured a voice lamenting the unfortunate turn of events, stating, “A deeply regrettable incident occurred at the Marriott Hotel in Owerri where reservations for the Federal Government Girls College, Owerri, who had gathered for their 50th global reunion, were left disheartened.”

Continuing, the voice revealed, “What we have learned is that, despite reservations made several months prior to this date, at the last moment, the hotel management gave the reserved rooms to politicians who arrived, leaving many former students of the Federal Government Girls College, Owerri, stranded in the lobby with no place to rest and no accommodation to stay.”
The Imo State government had in preparation for the upcoming governorship election scheduled for November 11 submitted a request to secure exclusive booking of all hotel rooms within the state capital, Owerri.
PUNCH reported that the State Commissioner for Tourism, Jerry Egemba, issued a memo addressed to all Chief Executive Officers of hotels located in the Owerri metropolis. The memo, dated November 25 and observed by our correspondent in Owerri on Monday, outlined the state government’s intention to reserve and pay for all available hotel rooms from November 4 to November 11.
In the memo, hotel CEOs were kindly requested to provide comprehensive details of their establishments and accommodation expenses on or before Thursday, October 26, to facilitate timely payment by the state government.
