The Commissioner for Education, Professor Ngozi Chuma-Udeh disclosed this during the official handover of Umuji Community College, Ebenebe in Awka North Local Government Area to the Anambra state government.
The Commissioner noted that when Governor Chukwuma Soludo declared a state of emergency on Anambra roads, he also declared an emergency on the educational sector in the state, resulting in the massive hiring of teachers.
While lauding the community for taking the initiative to secure their children’s future by constructing the college, Professor Chuma-Udeh stated that history has been made and advised other communities to emulate Ebenebe
The Commissioner also announced that the Ministry will donate books to the school’s library.
Earlier in his welcome address, the traditional Prime Minister of Ebenebe, Chief Josephat Nwegwu said that the idea behind establishing the school is to raise children that will be leaders in the future.
Others who spoke at the ceremony were the Traditional ruler of Ebenebe, Igwe Christopher Nnaegbuna, the Chairman of Umuji village union, Mr Cletus Ajuora and the President Umuji Women Union, Mrs Edith Nnawoba.
