Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State has congratulated Dr Prudence Chukwubundo Chuma-Udeh for making the State and Nigeria proud.
In line with the State’s brand name as the light of the nation, Anambra-born medical doctor, Chuma-Udeh working at Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka, topped the list of fourty medical students who emerged out of the 5,000 that wrote the Primary Examination in Surgery.
With her emergence, Dr Chuma-Udeh ranked highest in the entire West Africa, a feat that was in tandem with Governor Soludo’s vision of equipping Ndi Anambra that could be marketable abroad.
Her twin sister, Chukwudiogo Chuma-Udeh also passed her primary examination in Gynaecology.
Both twin sisters work at Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu Teaching Hospital, Amaku.
Indeed, the Soludo-led administration had always harped on building capacity that could favourably compete anywhere in the world and this feat, as observed, is an energiser to what his government represents.
This good news is coming at the back of five teachers from Anambra who won the President’s Teachers’ Award last month.
Two out of the five teachers from the State won overall best teachers in Nigeria.
The Governor said: “The true Anambra spirit is known for hard work and excellence.
“Congratulations to Dr Prudence Chukwubundo Chuma-Udeh for this feat. It’s a win for Anambra State and a win for Nigeria.”
The Governor said to have committed to making Anambra education sector the best in Nigeria had budgeted N8.4 billion to revamp the system.
Recall, that the Governor recruited 5,000 teachers in the State for the sole purpose of improving the quality of teachers and teaching that would mould exportable products abroad.
Governor Soludo has on behalf of the State Government and people of Anambra, felicitated with the twin sisters and charged them never to relent but to continue to be shining lights to youths of this generation.
