The Anambra State Commissioner for Education, Prof. Ngozi Chuma-Udeh, has attributed the state’s outstanding performance at the just-concluded 2025 President’s Teachers and Schools Excellence Awards to the enabling environment created by the education-driven administration of Governor Chukwuma Soludo.
Prof. Chuma-Udeh made this known while addressing the 2025 awardees who paid her a courtesy visit at the State Secretariat Complex, Awka.
According to her, Governor Soludo’s deep passion for education and his commitment to ensuring that every child in Anambra has access to quality education continue to drive his Solution Education Agenda, which has fostered excellence and productivity across the sector.
While congratulating the teachers for making the state proud, the commissioner noted that winning nine out of the 15 awards presented at the national event was an unprecedented feat since the creation of Anambra State.
Earlier, the awardees, led by Mrs. Francisca Odiegwu, Head Teacher of Woliwo Primary School II, Onitsha — the star prize-winning school, expressed their gratitude to Governor Soludo for the remarkable transformation in the education sector. They described the feat as proof of his belief that education should be accessible to all.
Mrs. Odiegwu also commended Prof. Chuma-Udeh and the entire education team for effectively implementing Governor Soludo’s vision, which culminated in the state’s exceptional performance at the 2025 Teachers’ Awards held at the Eagle Square, Abuja.
Other members of the award-winning team present at the visit included Mrs. Amaka Ubaka, Principal of Prince Memorial Secondary School, Onitsha; Mrs. Royaline Amarachi Ikebuaso and Mrs. Nkechi Ikedi of Pinkberry International School, Odume Obosi; as well as Mr. Cosmas Nwatta and Mr. Emmanuel Ndibe, who emerged first runners-up in their respective categories.
