Gov. Peter Obi of Anambra on Thursday presented
N1 million each to 160 first class graduates of the
state to enable them to be established in their
chosen careers.
Addressing the graduates in Awka on Thursday, Obi
said the gesture was a way of encouraging hard
work among students and youths in the state.
The governor also used the occasion to distribute 55
school buses to 55 secondary schools, saying it was
part of the final push in the education sector.
He further inaugurated the distribution of more than
200 transformers to various communities as well as
two fire trucks to the state fire service.
Obi assured that his successor, Mr Willie Obiano,
would sustain the gesture and called on the people
of the state to support the in-coming administration.
Earlier, the state Commissioner for Education, Dr
Uju Okeke, commended the governor for the
transformation so far witnessed in the education
sector.
She said that Obi’s administration had so far
distributed about N2.8 billion to the Catholic
mission schools and about N2 billion to Anglican
mission schools.
