The goal of the seminar is to repatriate the knowledge and skills the US based resource persons have acquired for the benefit of the state education sector in particular, and her citizens in general.

The organizers of the seminar simply want to respond to Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s call to Ndi Anambra in the diaspora to do whatever is necessary to join Mr Governor’s determination to revive every sector of Anambra for human, civic, economic, infrastructural and educational development.

 

 

 

The international Co-ordinator and chairman of the organizing committee, Dr Ikeanyi and the management team of Igwe Davidson Okafor and Mercy Ikeanyi, IDOMI, Foundation and Life Care Coalition Outreach, LCCO commend the Special Guest of Honour in the seminar, Mr Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo for his exemplary leadership in the education sector and indeed other sectors, where he is providing solution in the state. Kudos must also go to the Commissioner for Education, Professor Ngozi Chuma-Udeh, who is the keynote speaker during the seminar for her tenacity, sincerity and dedication.

 

 

 

Indeed Prof Soludo’s team understand that education is the only key that unlocks the golden door to freedom. Education is one thing no one can take away from you because the more you read, the more things you will know, the more you learn, the more places you will go.

 

 

 

Therefore, it will be a day to remember for our principals at Hilton Leisure Hotel, along Regina Caeli Road, Awka for the incisive and eyes-opening seminar.
