In continuation of his tour of all the Secondary schools, returned by Anambra State government to their original owners, Governor Obi yesterday toured another six schools namely Girls Secondary School, Oba; Girls Secondary School, Onitsha; Comprehensive Secondary School, Onitsha; Dennis Memorial Secondary School, Onitsha; St. Monica’s Secondary School, Ogbunike and Ogidi Girls' Secondary School. At each of the schools, he tasted their food, visited their refectory, conveniences and other facilities and gave them N10 million Cheque each out of the N20 Million they will get for the rehabilitation of the schools for 2012.

Obi said he could have easily delegated his Commissioners to tour these Schools but he decided to do it on his own in order to see firsthand the state of these schools to determine the extent of support the government would continue to render to them.

He expressed general satisfaction on the neatness of those schools but regretted how government ran them down after taking over from the Missionaries. With apologies, he assured that government must continue to do everything possible until the schools are returned to their former glory. He also expressed satisfaction that there is marked improvement since the schools were returned to the Missionaries.

So what's the benefits these schools stand to gain from being returned to the missionaries, that is besides improved morality. I ask b'cos the state gov't is still funding them.

Though his interest in the schools is commendable.

Peter 'Okwute' Obi ride on we are behind you for 2015 arithmetics. No wonder Anambra produced the best and brightest out of 9ja..

day to day running and management of the schools and work plans for the students which state governmnets especially the one we have in nigeria are almost incapable of doing.


the funds are actually for the rehabilitation of the structures that the government ran down in the first instance when it took them over in early seventies.most other states the returned their own missionary schools did not seem to bother giving these schools money to rehabilitate them.
