Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State has donated cheques totalling N1.46 billion to mission primary schools for infrastructural development.
Presenting the cheques in Awka, Obi commended the Church for their support in rebuilding the schools and urged them to remain steadfast in their support for government activities.
He said his administration was making “final push” to achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
Obi said that about N12.5 billion would be spent on education before the end of his tenure.
According to the governor, N5 billion would be spent on each of the eight MDGs, to ensure a secure future for the children of the state.
“This government would at least employ 2,000 primary school teachers, 2,000 secondary school teachers and 2,000 civil servants before the end of the year.”
