educational sector of the Anambra State economy. His administration
kicked-off by recruiting Five Thousand teachers into the Anambra State
Public Secondary school SYSTEM. and additional three thousand teachers to solve the problem of inadequate number of teachers in schools especially those located in the remote and riverine areas of the State.

come to have significance for people in other parts of the world. because of advances in communication,
transportation, and information technologies. These have further increased
economic, political, technological, and cultural linkages that connect
individuals, communities, businesses, and governments around the
world.
Education needs huge capital outlay and the greatest
potential any Nation or State has is her educated manpower. Without
competent human resources, such a State or Nation would lag behind and
remain under-developed. Education is an instrument for effecting
national or state development. When one considers the huge amount of
money spent for buildings, maintenance, staff salaries, supplies,
instructional materials, equipment and research, among others, one
would agree that education is often the biggest single enterprise undertaken by the government. Education is an expensive social service
and requires adequate financial provision from the Government for a
successful implementation of the educational programme.
No price paid for the
education of the Anambra State citizens would be regretted because
education is indispensable for the building and
sustenance of a modern society and a necessary ingredient
for national unity, stability and development.
