Okorocha made the commendation at the hand-
over of a new primary school building donated by
the U.S. chapter of the Ulakwo People’s Assembly in
Ngor-Okpala Local Government Area. The governor, represented by the Commissioner
for Education, Dr Uche Ejiogu, reiterated that
education was the biggest industry in the state. He said the education sector had been in a pitiable
state before the inception of his free education
programme, adding that the sector had since been
repositioned and given the appropriate attention. The governor also said the achievement of
qualitative education required the investment of
huge financial resources. “Education takes the greater chunk of the state's
resources because the government has given it a
top priority. “The government believes that it is through
qualitative and functional education that societies
can develop and individuals empowered to attain
full potentials,” he said. The governor said the state government welcomed
and appreciated individuals, groups and
communities that identified and partnered with it in
achieving the set goals. He commended the Ulakwo People’s Assembly for
assisting the government in providing a conducive
environment for effective learning and teaching. “He also appealed to them to assist the school by
providing a band set, computers and equipping its
library.
