Jubilant principals and teachers of secondary schools in Enugu State, under the Post Primary Schools Management Board (PPSMB), yesterday, converged on the Government House, Enugu, in their numbers to celebrate and appreciate Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi for the exceptional attention his administration has paid to their wellbeing and the education sector.
They stressed that Gov. Ugwuanyi’s administration has been regular in the payment of their salaries unlike some states in the country, and has carried out various sterling reforms in the education sector that have repositioned the sector and earned Enugu State laurels within and outside the country.
The teachers said that they are delighted at the governor’s remarkable achievements in the education sector and other sectors across the state notwithstanding the state’s lean resources and the challenges bedeviling the country since he assumed office.
They therefore passed a vote of confidence in Gov. Ugwuanyi and assured him of their unalloyed support and votes at the poll to represent Enugu North Senatorial District in the National Assembly in 2023 on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Led by the new Chairman of PPSMB, Dr. Mrs. Favour Ugwuanyi, the principals and teachers told the governor that they are solidly behind the choice of Peter Ndubuisi Mbah as the governorship candidate of the PDP in the 2023 general election, assuring him that they will also vote for Mbah, his running mate, Ifeanyi Ossai and all other PDP candidates in the state.
Appreciating Gov. Ugwuanyi for reconstituting the PPSMB and bringing in intellectuals with proven track record, the principals and teachers disclosed that their positive impact is already being witnessed in the state’s education sector.
