Today, I announced the commencement of free and qualitative education across all Government owned Nursery and Primary Schools, including government owned secondary schools covering Junior Secondary School Students (JSS 1 - 3).
This is not about tuition fees, but every other dues and levies running into thousands of Naira for Students per term. It is enshrined in our constitution that the State must provide free basic education where practicable.

Finally, I met the Anambra record-breaking wonder kid, young Chinonso Eche (@ChinonsoEche), who is 14 years old and holds the Guinness Book of Records football Freestyle talent award for a record five (5) times.
As a football lover, Chinonso thrilled my wife and me with breathtaking moves. His control of the round leather orb is undoubtedly next to perfect.

Today is Palm Sunday!
As we commence the Holy week, I want us to reflect on "Mass irrationality". Often times, it appears correct, logical or even conventional until one voice decides to stand different.

This is the third week since I was sworn in as the Governor of Anambra State. In line with my promise to the people and the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 20 Commissioners have been sworn in today after going through the statutory screening at the State Assembly
The 21st Commissioner will also be sworn in next week after being cleared by the House of Assembly.

With utmost humility and gratitude to God, I accept the results of the 2021 Anambra Governorship election as declared by INEC. This reflects the supreme will of the almighty God, and an overwhelming sacred mandate of the people.
For 12 years since the massive clamour by the people of Anambra for us to serve them, we persevered to this Divine moment. This is a divine journey whose time has come. To God be all the glory and adoration!
