Obi's solution in Anambra was to hand back missionary schools to the original owners. He even handed some government owned schools to the Catholic church.

The likes of Solodu will be happy as this has saved him the wahala of managing those schools .

Peter Obi revolutionized education in Anambra State during his tenure as governor (2006–2014) through transformative policies and strategic investments aimed at improving access, quality, and outcomes in the sector. Here are the key ways he achieved this:

1. Return of Mission Schools

Peter Obi returned schools previously taken over by the government to their original proprietors, mainly churches, which had a track record of better istration. This decision was backed by government funding to cover salaries and other expenses, enabling the institutions to function effectively while maintaining discipline, moral values, and educational standards​​​​.


2. Infrastructure and Resources

His istration invested heavily in educational infrastructure, including:

Building and renovating classrooms.

Equipping schools with computers, internet connectivity, and laboratory equipment.

Providing school buses to ensure ease of transportation for students.


These initiatives helped modernize the learning environment and enabled better academic performance​​​​.

3. Funding and Scholarships

Obi ensured consistent funding for both public and mission schools, covering teachers’ salaries and operational costs. Scholarships and programs for students further reduced financial burdens on families, particularly for those in disadvantaged areas​​.



4. Focus on Technology and Innovation

He introduced ICT tools in schools, establishing Microsoft Academies in secondary schools, a first in Nigeria. This provided students with early exposure to technology and boosted their competitive edge​​​​.


5. Improved Academic Outcomes

Under his leadership, Anambra State rose from 26th to 1st position nationwide in external examinations such as WAEC and NECO. Students from Anambra consistently topped national academic rankings, including winning international science competitions​​​​.


6. Collaboration with International Organizations

Obi partnered with organizations like UNICEF and the World Bank to attract additional funding and expertise for the education sector. His model of reform was later recognized as a benchmark for educational development in Africa​​​​.

These strategic interventions transformed Anambra State into one of the top-performing states in education in Nigeria, setting a standard for others to follow.

AntiZikist:


You lie because it was Obi that jacked up all school fees for all state government owned institutions from Primary up to University.

This saw to many students dropping out as they could not afford to pay the new fees. Some had to leave the state to enroll in free govt paid institutions outside Anambra.

Anambra has the highest school drop out rate in southern Nigeria with over 20% of children out of school as per latest data from STATISENSE

AntiZikist:
It was Lagos State under Tinubu's free education policy that took it a step further to start paying for both WAEC and JAMB registration forms for Lagos state secondary school students.

SE students benefited from this policy as many rushed to Lagos to enroll in the Lagos state funded free public schools so that they can take advantage of the free WAEC and JAMB registration.

Up till date no state in the SE offers free education talk more of purchasing both JAMB and WAEC forms for their students.

This is the polar opposite of some one they have declared their messiah who when as governor jacked up school fees and saw to a prolonged strike of all education staff of his state's education staff from primary to university level.

1. Anambra State: Free education began effectively in 2011 under Governor Peter Obi for public primary and junior secondary schools.


2. Imo State: Imo State is notable for implementing free education at all levels (primary, secondary, and tertiary) under Governor Rochas Okorocha (2011–2019). His istration covered tuition fees for students in public institutions.


3. Abia State: Abia State declared free primary and secondary education in 2015 under Governor Okezie Ikpeazu's istration.


4. Ebonyi State: Although not fully free, significant subsidies were provided during the tenure of Governor David Umahi (2015–2023) to reduce educational costs.


5. Enugu State: Free education initiatives, particularly at the primary school level, have been in place since the 2000s, with Governor Sullivan Chime (2007–2015) expanding funding to improve access.
—---------------------------


1. Imo State:
During Governor Rochas Okorocha's istration (2011–2019), the Imo State government paid WAEC and sometimes UTME fees for students in public secondary schools. This was part of his free education policy.


2. Abia State:
Under Governor Theodore Orji (2007–2015), Abia State covered WAEC fees for final-year secondary school students in public schools to promote higher enrollment in examinations.


3. Ebonyi State:
At certain times, the Ebonyi State government subsidized WAEC fees for public school students, particularly under Governor Martin Elechi (2007–2015), as part of their educational programs.


4. Enugu State:
Governor Sullivan Chime (2007–2015) occasionally provided financial for WAEC fees, although it was not a consistent statewide policy.


5. Anambra State:
Governor Peter Obi (2006–2014) included payment of WAEC fees for public secondary school students as part of his educational reforms.

What are your thoughts?

Could it be stage fright?

if you continue vlogging like this, you won't be getting views. Always start your video with the point you want to make, then pause to give the background. Nobody has the time to watch your intro.

Nobody takes this NLC seriously again.

Don't listen to this loser. He has always been a loser, advising people out of his stupid experience in his own marriage.

Bro, I sent my wife about 3 years ago to Australia. My salary then was a little above 1 million naira net monthly.

She came to Aussie as a student. After 2 years she invited me and our children.

I am now in Australia. The best decision I ever made in my entire life is to leave Nigeria.

If your family mistakenly come ta Australia, bro, they will forever remain grateful to you as my family is to me.

You are still young I suppose, I came into Australia at 48.

Bro, again, if you mistakenly enter Australia, you're made.

Your wife is even a nurse. The much needed nurses.

you are probably over 50 years now and cannot post a comment here without insults.

It's very appalling sir.

Nothing.

THEY WILL BE TOLD TO EMPTY THEIR BANK FOR THE PASTOR, THAT THEIR GREATNESS IS TODAY.

Meanwhile pastor's own greatness comes from pockets.

Op be ready to lose you wife. Don't come back here to disturb us with stories that touch.

Who will vote him in?

slimfit1:
Please introduce road tax for all personal vehicles 60% for people with more than 2 vehicles ed in their address. The finance minister is not looking at this because he would be affected. If we introduce this tax bill people like Dino will be bringing money to the treasury for just parking cars he doesn't need or use, maybe he will start showing us businesses in Nigeria instead of cars.

the problem is after generating the money through tax, it goes into the pockets of individuals and nothing can be done about it. Even when they are caught, they serve 4 months jail term and come out to enjoy the money.

LocalFARMERS:
Pig farming is a lucrative investment. You can make millions from selling Pigs. People eat Poke meat in every part of this Country. That made Poke meat one of the most soughted type of Meat in Nigeria.

One of the most difficult skill---trading the financial market.

forex trade is not a tech field but business; buying and selling. The skill required to be successful in forex trading can also be applied to other businesses: analysing the market, Knowing when to buy and when to sell. Even a palm oil seller needs same skill.

Learning forex trading alone does not guarantee a secure financial future. While some people do find success in forex, it’s inherently a high-risk market with no guarantees of profit.

There it is.

Good Luck to Nigerians.

madridguy:
Japa to Ukraine?

yes. To Ukraine

This is my personal thought.

As Trump wins US presidential election, he may facilitate the end of Russia - Ukraine war. Once this war ends, Ukraine will begin to rebuild the damaged country. They may need to amend their immigration policy to make it easier for foreigners especially Africans to troop in to help rebuild the country and economy.

Therefore save money. If it happens, it will be a very easy and cheap way to japa.

My thoughts ooo.

Meanwhile, Nigeria has on 16k mega watts

Is forex or crypto an advisable tech skill?

they are not tech skills

ivandragon:
I think the immediate issues that need to be addressed, aside the elephant in the room which is corruption, are:

1. Peg the exchange rate at between N500-N600. This would lead to a reduction in prices across all sectors.

2. Be serious about the issue of insecurity. The farmers are having a hard time farming in peace due to bandits, terrorists and kidnappers.

3. Have a clear agricultural policy that ensures farmers get the needed farm inputs as at when due, at reduced costs and no unnecessary istrative bottlenecks.

4. Mandate that no food or fuel truck should be extorted or unnecessarily delayed by security agents. Provide special toll free numbers for the drivers to call if they are harassed and grant them full authority to record the activities of security agents that stop them. The extortion these transporters suffer from security agents adds to the rising costs of goods.

Of course, these are stop-gap measures which can be immediately implemented without actually reintroducing subsidy.

your points are also very OK if implemented. But I think it should have been done even before subsidy removal. The sudden removal and the floating of the naira were just done without any plan on ground. This is not governance at all.

But I still think that reintroduction of the subsidy will have immediate effect on the livelihood of Nigerians. Then other recommendations follow while the subsidy is eventually removed.
