Anambra’s chart-topping performances in education

in his back-page column in Thisday on Thursday last week, which he devoted to the Multina Teacher of the Year Awards, ace columnist, Segun Adeniyi, made a striking observation. Surprised by the outstanding performance of teachers who represented Anambra State in the contest, Adeniyi observed – “There is something that the Anambra State Education authorities must be doing right not only because it is the state where many of the teachers scored above average. Perhaps that accounts for why candidates from the state continue to come tops in WAEC examinations every year.”
Adeniyi is not alone in his bewilderment. Many Nigerians are curious about Anambra’s recent string of sparkling performances in education. Mrs. Rose Nkemdilim Obi who teaches Mathematics in an all-girls college in Onitsha defeated her fellow teachers from nineteen other states of the federation to win this year’s edition of Multina Teacher of the Year Awards. Giving a rare insight into the brightness of her mind, Mrs Obi, a passionate teacher told the panel of five prominent academics and a columnist that decided the contest that “Teaching is a noble profession. It is a calling. It is a commitment to building the nation.” Nothing could have captured the weight of the true importance of teachers to society better than that. The six judges, made up of Prof. Pat Utomi, Prof. Mopelola Omeogun of Univeristy of Lagos, Prof. Thomas Ofuya, Vice Chancellor of Wellspring University, Benin, Prof. Tijani Abubakar of ABU, Zaria, Dr Mrs Fatima Binta Abdulrahman and Segun Adeniyi of Thisday, were thoroughly impressed by Mrs Obi’s overall brilliance in the contest and were unanimous in the decision to give her the award.
Interestingly, two days after Nkemdilim Obi’s emergence as the Best Teacher in Nigeria, Team Anambra also emerged winners of the national Pre-basic Debate Competition held in Abeokuta, Ogun State, to mark Nigeria’s 55th independence anniversary. Interestingly too, Anambra had won the same contest last year and subsequently flew the Nigerian flag in Singapore in June this year at the World Schools Debate Championship. The team was made up of Adachukwu Onyekwena from Girls Secondary School, Amaenyi, Awka, Nnamdi Udoji from Dennis Memorial Grammar School, Onitsha, Chinemerem Oguaba from Awada Secondary School, Obosi, Chukwuebuka Obichi from Army Day Secondary School, Onitsha and Nneka Chigozie from Mater Ammabillis Secondary School, Umoji; all public schools located in different parts of the state. The consistency that Anambra State has achieved in this credible contest of intellectual promise is re-assuring.
Anambra has also shown the same striking promise in external examinations, coming first in WAEC and NECO examinations for three consecutive years. The fascinating thing about the rise of Anambra is that the young students who have brought repeated honours to the state in national and international debate championships were all drawn from public schools.
Well, for Adeniyi and other interested Nigerians who are wondering where Anambra’s performance is coming from, wonder no more. The answer is simple. Anambra State prides itself as the Light of the Nation. In figurative and literal sense, Anambra cannot be said to be anything less. Not after giving the world the great Zik of Africa, Emeka Ojukwu, Chinua Achebe, Chike Obi, Chimamanda Adichie, Emeka Anyaoku, Christopher and his brother Pius Okigbo, Prof. Samuel Okoye, Dora Akunyili, Chukwuma Soludo, Chuka Umunna, James Adichie, Ben Enweonwu and a whole universe of amazing scholars, pioneers and achievers. So, there seems to be a genetic pool where the young saplings that are astonishing the world actually came from. But even so, the recent renaissance has more to do with administrative foresight than any inherent ability.
The fact is, since he took the oath of office in March last year, Governor Willie Obiano has shown that under him, Anambra would not play second fiddle to anyone in education. He has made tough decisions, pushed hard-hitting reforms and demonstrated a thirst for excellence never seen before and today, the results are trickling in. It must be noted, however, that he inherited good fundamentals in education. His predecessor, governor Peter Obi had returned mission schools to churches and made bold efforts to refocus the attention of the people on education. But Obiano has shown a more organised and structured approach that guarantees sustainability and instant results in the sector.
Obiano’s strategic approach to education is anchored on the crucial vision of becoming one of the Top-3 States with the highest literacy rates in Nigeria. Essentially, Obiano approaches education in three broad areas – infrastructural development, pupils/students development, and teachers’ welfare. In Infrastructure, his administration has renovated 862 units of 10-classroom blocks across the 21 Local Government Areas in the state and disbursed the sum of N733 million to the missions for the renovation of the schools the churches took over from the state. In pupils/students welfare, his administration has kept faith with its “No-Child-Left-Behind” policy in education; awarding free education to all physically challenged children in the state. The governor took it a bit further when he awarded scholarships to the children of Boko Haram victims and other children who lost their parents while on active duty for the state. In all, the state has awarded scholarships of over N30 million in eighteen months.http://sunnewsonline.com/new/anambras-chart-topping-performances-in-education/

freefool, i am posting everything in anambra, so post everything in enugu state, this was the same mentality that made enugu state not to develop state-wide. public school in anambra

[s]

FreeGlobe:
I said public schools in Awka not the same pics you have been repeating over 50 times on this thread. I'm waiting..

[/s]

a hospital in the rural area of ozubulu, can you show me something like this in nsukka or any other village in enugu state?

yes can you compare rivers and cross river to a dry and poor enugu state? every nigerian has a reason to go to rivers, cross river, anambra, lagos, kano, delta, abia etc but not enugu. what is enugu state's selling point that attracts people to it, nothing. no wonder it is a backward state

[s]

FreeGlobe:
is ph a state, is calabar a state? Olodo

[/s]

Obey you when you are not ready to show us ordinary public school? the joke is on you

[s]

FreeGlobe:
I said Awka, you must obey me

[/s]

we are dealing with it but also i want you to show us anything outside the few plots of land called enugu urban

[s]

FreeGlobe:
Let us deal with education first? Why are you running now? Do what I asked you to do

[/s]

where and how? how many people relocated to enugu? enugu is only for poor people. a retirement town for octogenarians and hopeless youths like you without future. enugu is for hopeless people because there is no money there, that why people are rushing to lagos, delta, rivers, anambra, kano, cross river, abia etc

[s]

FreeGlobe:
Enugu is still richer than cross rivers, anambra, abia, kano and more beautiful than Rivers, True or false?

[/s]

you wanna dodge? you must post that thatched enugu school by force

[s]

FreeGlobe:
No sir, Post Awka public school, I'm waiting

[/s]

even my town uga has a bank, how many rural areas in enugu state has access to banking services/facilities. that what is called development

FreeGlobe:
We are not talking individual wealth here we are talking development. Are you an illiterate? We are talking infrastructure.. According to your logic, Rivers state is not developed since only ph is developed. If you want to count beautiful Nigeria cities, it's in this order.

Abuja
Lagos
Enugu
Calabar
Uyo
Others

It's facts...

Can't just click and learn than clicking to type tosh. Where is Enugu infrastructure apart from Enugu city? Nsukka is more of a glorified village. River state is 50 times developed than Enugu state. We have countless modern cities and towns in Rivers state. We have Ph city, Obigbo, Bori, Khana, Okrika, Bonny Island, Omoku city, Opobo, Kalabari town, Ahaoda and others. Even Imo has Owerri, Okigwe, Orlu, Oguta and other large towns. Abia has Aba, Umiahia, Ohafia, Obuaku city and other large towns. Enugu only has Enugu proper and University town Nsukka. Abeg swerve.

freefool, is a dunce, his understanding of a developed town is when you develop few plots of land as place while leaving hectares of land in rot
