Anambra State Government has announced intention to recruit two thousand five hundred teachers, in addition to the five thousand already recruited in 2022.
The state Commissioner for Education, Professor Ngozi Chuma-Udeh, announced this at the official handover of Umuji Community College, Ebenebe, Awka North Local Government Area to the state government.
The Commissioner noted that when Governor Soludo declared a state of emergency on Anambra roads, he also declared an emergency on the educational sector, resulting in the massive recruitment of teachers.
While commending Ebenebe community for taking the initiative to secure their children’s future by constructing the college, Professor Chuma-Udeh 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 Joe Nwegwu, said that the idea behind establishing the school is to raise children that would be future leaders.
Others who spoke at ceremony were the traditional ruler of Ebenebe, Igwe Chris Nnaegbuna, the Chairman of Umuji village union, Mr. Cletus Ajuora, and the President of Umuji Women Union, Mrs. Edith Nnawoba.
The community later presented the Commissioner with an award of recognition to commend her for her commitment to bettering the education sector in the state since assumption of office.
