Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State said his administration is working with private providers to guarantee 24 hours electricity in major cities in the state over the next 30 months.
Soludo said this on Friday during a ceremony to present appointment letters to the newly recruited five thousand teachers for primary and secondary schools in the State.
While reeling out some of his achievements in office so far, the governor noted that in barely eight months in office, they have been vigorously and simultaneously implementing the five pillars of their manifesto and they are fighting criminals and touts head-on as they are on the run while security law and order are getting better by the day.
He added that Anambra is now a construction site with over 230 kilometres of quality and strategic road constructions ongoing together with bridges and flyovers and they have launched a regenerative agricultural revolution as well as reinventing the palm oil and coconut economy.
Soludo said with the recruitment of new 5000 teachers for the primary and secondary schools, the era of schools without quality teachers is gone.
He added that with additional 2,500 teachers each in primary and secondary schools, the state will henceforth continue to meet the best possible teacher-student ratios.
The Governor assured the teachers that as fellow teachers, the government will prioritise teachers and ensure they are motivated and empowered, adding that all the tools they need to work with will be provided.
The 500 new teachers are employed under the Anambra State Universal Basic Education Board and the Post Primary School Service Commission.
