Speaking when State House of Assembly Committee on Education paid an oversight visit to her Ministry, Chuma-Udeh promised to tackle the issues raised by the committee, including dilapidated schools, discipline and parents’ altercation with teachers in schools.
She called on the lawmakers to forward the list of dilapidated schools and communities without public schools and survey documents of lands donated by the communities, reiterating readiness of Prof Chukwuma Soludo-led administration to provide them with community schools.
While commending the House of Assembly for the choice of education-passionate individuals to form the House Education Committee, the Commissioner thanked God for the grace that enabled the House to make the right choice.
She appreciated the committee members for their support, friendship, regards and mutual respect which have been the sources of encouragement to the Ministry as she strives to translate Soludo’s education agenda into reality.
Earlier, Chairman of the Committee, Hon. Anayo Okpaleke commended the Commissioner for proactively handling the education sector under Soludo’s administration.
He described as commendable the professionalism employed by Chuma-Udeh during the recruitment of teachers exercise in the State and the conduct of the 2024 WASSCE examination amidst seeming security challenges.
He noted that the teachers’ recruitment exercise was the first in recent times when recruitment was done on merit.
