Peter Obi removed 40 years of educational decadence in Anambra state, says School principal and manager of Christ the King College, Onitsha.
Rev. Fr. Celestine Arinze Okafor, school principal and manager of Christ the King College, Onitsha praised the former governor of Anambra State Peter Obi for laying the foundation for what he described as educational revolution in the state.
Speaking at the feast day celebration of the school on Sunday, Fr. Okafor said Mr Obi had continued to inspire many people within and outside the country, including himself.
He said Obi ended 40 years of educational decadence in the state by not only returning mission schools to churches, but revitalising schools and equipping them with necessary human and capital resources to do better.
“Obi as the governor of Anambra prioritised education and revolutionalised the sector. Students from Anambra State started competing favourably with and outshining their counterparts on the global stage due to the great investments Obi made in education in the State,†he said.
He appreciated Obi for his continuous benevolence to Christ the King College, Onitsha, his alma mater.
Other notable dignitaries at the event were the proprietor of Christ the King College, Archbishop of Onitsha Archdiocese His Grace Valerian Okeke and Anambra State Governor Willie Obiano.
