Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, lauded the significant educational contributions of former Governor of Anambra State and Labour Party presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, during a recent ceremony.
Governor Soludo remarked that
these accomplishments continue to underpin ongoing educational progress in the
state.
Represented by his deputy, Dr.
Onyekachukwu Ibezim, Soludo expressed these sentiments at the funeral mass for
Chief Alexander Ejesieme Snr., conducted at St. John’s Catholic Church in
Agulu.
In his address, Governor Soludo
underscored the enduring impact of Peter Obi's educational reforms in the state
and stressed the need to further advance educational development.
He also revealed a recent
allocation of substantial funds to support mission schools in Anambra State,
part of the administration's commitment to sustaining educational quality.
"I thank Mr. Peter Obi for
his numerous legacies in the education sector, upon which we are
building," Governor Soludo stated. He went on to announce that Governor
Soludo had allocated N1.5 billion to missionary schools in the state, further
solidifying their dedication to maintaining high educational standards.
As a pivotal component of his
education reform efforts, Peter Obi, in 2011, returned all mission schools to
their original owners, the church, while securing sufficient state government
funding. Furthermore, he equipped both public and mission schools with vital
resources, including computers, libraries, Internet connectivity, generators,
and laboratory equipment.
Additionally, Mr. Obi ensured
that each secondary school in the state received school buses and other
essential academic tools. These initiatives continue to shape the educational
landscape of Anambra State.
