Akwa-Ibom to replace missionary schools
The Akwa Ibom State
government says it has concluded plans to build 12 new secondary
schools to replace those handed over to churches.
Victor Attah, a
previous governor, has handed over some schools to their original
owners. Jerry Emah, Senior Special Assistant on Education to Godswill
Akpabio, said yesterday in Uyo that the plan is to build new schools to
replace the “returned” ones.
He said the idea is
to ensure that communities which hosted the schools returned to
missions get new ones to serve people in the localities.
“The model schools
will be completely boarding and each of the 31 local government areas
will eventually have two each,” Mr. Emah said.
