The Anambra State Commissioner for Basic Education, Professor Kate Omenugha has charged students from Umuchu community to have educational goals and see nothing as a barrier to achieving their set goals.
Professor Omenugha made this charge when she received the Project Umuchu Future Icons, at her office in Awka.
Correspondent, Chidinma Ikeanyionwu was there and reports that education is the social institution through which society provides its members with important knowledge, basic facts, job skills, and cultural norms.
Shouting nothing is impossible, failure is not for me, I can do all things and yes I can! alongside the students during an interactive session, Commissioner Omenugha called on them to be the icons they proclaimed and noted that Project Umuchu Future Icons templates will be made compulsory in the state for other communities to emulate.
On his part, the convener of the Project Umuchu Future Icons, Mr Chibueze Ofobuike, explained that the project is one where students who were selected from six different schools in Umuchu are given mentorship in writing, oratory, basic sciences and general knowledge, with the aim of creating a competitive mindset among them.
Mr Ofobuike noted that it is also an avenue of improving the students’ intellectual capacity, thereby reducing social vices such as cultism, drug abuse and truancy in schools.
In a vote of thanks, Miss Ogochukwu Ezeanyim, who is also part of the Umuchu Project Icons team, appreciated the Basic Education Commissioner for all the works she has done in the ministry.
The Commissioner later moved round the ministry showcasing some of the Anambra State education icons to the students.
