My govt has adopted Peter Obi’s school model in Anambra, says Gov Soludo

The Chukwuma Soludo-led administration in Anambra has said it adopted Peter Obi’s school model for the educational development of the state.

Deputy governor Onyekachukwu Ibezim, at the funeral mass for Chief Alexander Ejesieme (Snr.), at St. John’s Catholic Church, Agulu, at the weekend, observed that Obi’s achievements have continued to serve as a foundation for the ongoing educational development in the state.

“I thank Mr Peter Obi for his numerous legacies in the education sector, upon which we are building,” he said.

The deputy governor, who represented Soludo at the occasion, disclosed that Prof. Soludo allocated N1.5 billion to missionary schools in Anambra as part of his administration’s efforts to sustain the quality of education in the state.

Obi left office about nine years ago as governor of Anambra, and the government believed the state witnessed its educational advancement during that period.

A statement by Obi’s media aide, Jude Nebolisa, noted that the enduring value of the educational reforms initiated by Obi in the state was to further academic development.

The statement observed that Governor Soludo recently allocated substantial funds to support mission schools in the state.

As part of his efforts to transform education in Anambra state, Obi 2011 returned all mission schools to their original owners, the church, while guaranteeing adequate funding from the state government.

“Additionally, he made sure that each secondary school in the state received school buses and other essential academic resources,” the statement added.
