Anambra State governor, Peter Obi, has presented a
cheque of N20m to the Queen of the Rosary College, Onitsha, for the
reconstruction of her burnt dormitories.

The governor, who presented the cheque to the
college authorities during a visit to the school, said his
administration was working towards making the state reference point in
the country. He challenged the students to remain good citizens, and
asked them to always support and pray for the government. He stressed
his readiness to solve their pressing needs and commended them for
maintaining a clean environment.

Mr. Obi announced that the school had been
selected to host the state’s Microsoft Academy, and the government
would soon provide the school with laptop computers after training
teachers on their use. He also promised a utility bus to the school,
and mandated the commissioner for environment to visit the erosion site
threatening the college for urgent intervention.

The principal of the college, Ngozi Ekwenibe,
described the governor as education-friendly, and pointed out that the
school had benefited immensely from his government. She listed the
renovation of science laboratories, supply of science equipment, a
generator set, bore holes, computers, construction of toilets, and the
computer academy as some of the contributions of the governor to the
school. Mrs Ekwenibe thanked the governor for promising a school bus,
as well as provision of adequate personnel to enhance effective
teaching and learning in the school.
