Two Anambra Schools To Get Cash Prizes at AMTY Awards

Mater Amabilis Secondary School, Umuoji, and St. John Vianney Science College, Ukwulu, have been selected as the Best Public School and Best Private School, respectively, at the Anambra Man of the Year (AMTY) Awards.

The schools will be honoured during the fifth edition of the AMTY Awards in Awka, where they are also expected to receive cash prizes donated by an Anambra philanthropist to support the equipping of their libraries.

The AMTY Awards, a privately driven initiative by the 100 Achievers Organisation, recognise individuals, institutions and brands that have made significant contributions to the development and positive image of Anambra State.

In separate nomination letters signed by the Chairman of the AMTY 5th Edition Planning Committee, Rev. Sr. Prof. Eugenia Adaoma Igwedibia, and the Director of Media and Communication, Dr. Emeka Odogwu, the organisers said the schools were selected in recognition of their outstanding academic records, leadership in education and consistent achievements in national and international competitions.

According to the organisers, Mater Amabilis Secondary School earned the Best Public School honour for its sustained pursuit of excellence, strong academic and extracurricular programmes, and the outstanding performance of its students on national and global platforms.

The award marks another major recognition for the school, which has built a reputation for excellence in academics, science, debate, entrepreneurship and sports.

Among its achievements are victories at the Malaysia International Debate Championship, the National Entrepreneurship Exhibition and Awards, the Milo Basketball Championship, and the WAEC/Vatebra Merit Award for outstanding performance in the sciences and overall WASSCE results.

The school has also excelled in the InterswitchSPAK competition, regional science contests and received the Hallmark of Labour Foundation Award.

For St. John Vianney Science College, the organisers said the award acknowledges the institution's commitment to academic excellence, leadership development and outstanding student representation at both national and international levels.

Despite being one of the younger secondary schools in the state, St. John Vianney has established itself as a centre of excellence, recording notable victories in STEM, robotics, entrepreneurship, mathematics and debate competitions.

Its students emerged national champions in the Diamond Challenge Entrepreneurship Competition, represented Nigeria in the United States, won the inaugural Girls in ICT Competition organised by the Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, topped the AI in HealthTech Exhibition hosted by Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, and recently emerged champions of the maiden UK-Nigeria Debate Competition.

The organisers said both schools have distinguished themselves through their dedication to nurturing talent and maintaining high educational standards, adding that they continue to set benchmarks for quality education in Anambra State.

They noted that the AMTY Awards have become one of the state's most recognised platforms for celebrating excellence and showcasing the achievements of Anambra people and institutions.

NUT commends Oyo over recruitment of 19,500 teachers

The Nigeria Union of Teachers, Oyo State, has commended Governor Seyi Makinde-led government for recruiting 19,500 teachers in five years.

The union, in a statement signed by the NUT Chairman, Oladimeji Raji and the Secretary, Salami Olukayode, noted that the appointment of 5,000 teachers in his first term and 14,500 since the inception of his second term into the state primary and secondary schools was noteworthy.

The union said the ripple effects of the recruitment were that it would address the problems of inadequate manpower in the education sector and promote teaching and learning.

The statement read, “Your disposition towards turning the tide of the education system of Oyo State remains unprecedented and unmatched not only in the annals of recruitment history of our dear state in recent times but also across the entire 36 states of the Federation including the Federal Capital Territory.

“Your Excellency Sir, your achievements in the education sector since assumption of office particularly, on the successful recruitment of over 14,000 qualified teaching professionals and about 3,500 non- teaching personnel, aside from an appreciative number of caregivers is a clear cut and a perfect reflection of your results-oriented style of leadership aimed at providing free, qualitative and quantitative education to the amiable citizens of Oyo State. This gesture shall, without doubt, have a significant touch in our classroom and as well enhance educational service delivery to our school children.”

How do we know that is the case without verifiable data showing attendance in public schools far outweighs that of private establishments

Anambra of Peter Obi.

That's what it means to build a state not like one fraud they claimed built a state with absolutely nothing to show.

Obi and the master strategist of Nigerian politics are both cut from the same fabric of fraudulent governance.

NLCreator:
Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 elections, has defended the purchase of sports utility vehicles (SUVs) for members of the national assembly.

There have been reports that the leadership of the 10th national assembly has bought SUVs for all lawmakers.

Each SUV is said to be valued at N160 million.

The LP had asked members of the party in the national assembly to kick against “wastage”.

While responding to questions during a press conference in Abuja on Monday, the former governor of Anambra said the SUVs are not personal cars of the lawmakers, noting that they are for official use.

“Let me start with the issue of Labour Party members in the house. I have actually discussed this issue with them,” Obi said.

“Surprisingly, I can tell you I heard that these vehicles are official cars. They have to use it. It is meant for office.

“So it is not as if it is their vehicle. They said it is official cars and you are meant to use it while you are in the senate.”

Obi also hinted at contesting for the country’s number one position in 2027, adding that Nigeria deserves dedicated and visionary leaders who will lead the country towards a brighter future.

Anambra distributes 177 vehicles to traditional rulers

Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State, on Monday in Awka, distributed one SUV each to the traditional rulers of the 177 communities in the state.

Obi handed over one of the vehicles’ key to the state Chairman of the Traditional Rulers’ Council, Igwe Alfred Achebe, Obi of Onitsha.

He said that the gesture was aimed at helping them run and build better communities, adding that the vehicles would also help the traditional rulers to function effectively.

“If you have better communities, you will have a better Anambra, Anambra today is changing for better and I want this sustained,” the governor said.

“In doing that, the state government and the local government will do what it can to support the building of a better Anambra.”

Achebe said that he was overjoyed because the governor cared about the well-being and welfare of the traditional rulers.

“It is completely unprecedented in Anambra and probably elsewhere in Nigeria,” he said.

“It is a mighty gesture from the governor and for the government of the state to make a distinct impact on the well-being of the traditional rulers in the state.”

According to him, it was one of the several measures the present administration in the state had taken to improve the wellbeing of the traditional rulers.

“We pray that God will give us a successor that will continue from where Obi has left and lift Anambra to the next level.”

We need to push the Catholic Bishops to do more. They seem to have relaxed a bit. Some of the best brains in the east end up as Seminarians. We need to extract that quality by getting them involved in educating the young. Look at what the missionaries did in the east. Schools like The CKC, The BSC, Emmanuels College etc. Quality unrivalled in those days. But these days, it takes a century to build new ones. The church has done well, but the church can do more and should be pushed to do more..

Those schools are not public schools, they are categorized as returned schools. Though they are doing wonders but the church have made them expensive.
