In a photo footage right on this post, you will see pictures footage of the moment the Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, presented cheques worth over 1.5 billion Naira to missionary schools in the eastern state, Anambra Nigeria
The cheques were a gift from the state governor as government support to improve the quality of education, infrastructure, and human development
Governor Soludo presented the cheques to owners/operators of Anambra Missionaries Schools by himself during a meeting held at the government lodge, Amawbia in Akwa the state capital
Below is how The 1.5 Billion Naira Money Gifting Was Received
A total of 762 Anambra Missionaries Schools received N2,000,000 each from the government of Anambra State today as the world marks World Teachers Day
Eight schools returned to “Salvation Army Schools” received a total sum of N16,000,000.

Twenty (20) schools initially owned by Anambra Pentecostal Schools received a total sum of N40,000,000.
In a remark, the governor said that the education sector is one large sector, for which his administration has a large ongoing agenda. Yes we are 100% committed to the education of our children said the governor
He applauded owners of mission schools for their active participation in the health sector, to which most hospitals belong, and decried the state of public sector components in the area of education and health.
Governor Soludo noted that both sectors are fundamentally slacking backward and that part of his agenda is to restore them, which is part of the primary duty of government anywhere in the world.
The governor recalled that when he assumed office, no general hospitals had doctors but today, we have employed and assigned professional doctors across the state
He, however, assured that all general hospitals will be equipped with solar power systems, so that ndi Anambra can have access to a qualitative healthcare and educational system, especially for the poorest of the poor among us
The Governor disclosed that hundreds of quack hospitals are in operation and reiterated his commitment to clean up the sector and make it work.
“In the area of education, this is why we are here and what we are trying to achieve in education is also the same we want to achieve in the public health sector,” Governor Soludo narrate.
He expressed displeasure that the society is creating two sets of citizens; the children of the poor abandoned in public schools and the children of the rich/average who can afford missions or private schools.

He maintained his vision to develop human capital in the state that will be productive at home and exportable abroad as well as to refurbish and recreate schools that will be smart, and digitally inclined. He also disclosed his plans to commence Leadership Science and Technology Schools.
“We shall be encouraging ndi Anambra to adopt schools in their communities but even if you can’t, you can at least buy a pencil or book for a child.
You will be amazed at what difference you are making, a club of patrons will be formed in these public schools. We want communities to take ownership of these schools,” he said.
Governor Soludo appreciated operators of Missionaries schools across the state for their efforts over the years and what they will continue to do, describing them as almost being a substitute for the government.
In a vote of thanks, the Chairman of PFN, Anambra State Chapter, Bishop Moses Ezedebego on behalf of all Anambra Mission Schools said that the Governor has demonstrated leadership, showing that all religious denominations can work together as a family.
Bishop Ezedebego stressed that the Governor has wiped the tears of uncountable millions of poor ndi Anambra and his deeds today will remain indelible in the annals of the State’s history
