Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo has promised to pay the 2022/2023 academic session’s third term school fees of 2, 350 students of Urban Girls Secondary School, Fegge, Onitsha.

Soludo, who made the promise when he visited the school while on an assessment visit, said the fees would be paid his personal money.

The Governor also used the occasion to encourage the students to remain good ambassadors of the state.

He harped on the need to always maintain hygiene both at home and in school.

The Governor called on the teachers to ensure they give the best to the students and assured that quality education would remain a top priority of his government.

Recall that Soludo had earlier declared that his government was adopting the transformational style of leadership, to deliver dividends of democracy to the people.

The governor made this known last Wednesday when he swore-in two new aides – a commissioner and a special adviser, to form members of the state executive council.

The aides who were sworn-in included Mr. Christian Udechukwu as Commissioners for Industry and Mr. Evarist Uba as Special Adviser on Trade and Markets.

Soludo, who swore them in, at the executive council chambers of government house in Awka said: ‘There are basically two types of leadership: transactional and transformational leadership.’

Our government is tilted more towards making transformational changes. Our goal is one that we are passionate about. It will require people paying to serve. It may not be very smooth ride because of the sacrifices you will have to make.

‘At the end, the satisfaction is the public good. It is what makes it worth it. It should be a daily reminder.

‘I charge you therefore to try to always read and be mindful of the oath of office you just took. It contains the principles that will drive you,’ Soludo said.

Soludo had two weeks ago announced the appointment of Udechukwu as the new Commissioner for Industry to replace Dr. Obinna Ngonadi, who was eased off the office.
