Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo on Monday toured schools in his hometown Isuofia, to officially signal the end of the five-year “sit-at-home” era in Anambra State.
He toured 10 schools and conducting an extensive monitoring exercise across the educational institutions.
According to the Press Secretary to the Governor, Christian Aburime the schools visited include: Community School, Isuofia, Unique Nursery and Primary School, Unique Secondary School, Central School, Primary School, Holy Child Secondary School, Community Secondary School, Amaorji Primary School, Ikemee Primary School, and Model Primary School, all in Isuofia.
This strategic visit, Aburime said, covered a broad spectrum of primary, secondary, and mission-managed schools, and that that served as a definitive declaration that the state has reclaimed its traditional five-day academic and economic week. “By restoring Monday as a primary driver of productivity, the administration is effectively aligning the state’s education sector with global standards of development”, Aburime wrote.
According to him, during the tour, the Governor bypassed formal protocols to engage directly with pupils and educators within their learning environment.
The Governor emphasized that the “New Anambra” generation must be prepared for international competition, noting that a truncated four-day week is incompatible with the state’s developmental aspirations, challenging students to internalize values of integrity and hard work, framing the return to full-time schooling as a critical step in reclaiming the state’s collective future and social order.
Soludo used the occasion to clarify the state’s collaboration with “returned schools” framework. Under this mission-state partnership, the Anambra State Government provides substantial subsidies and covers the majority of personnel costs for teaching staff, while the Church and Missions remain responsible for capital investments and the maintenance of physical infrastructure- a synergy designed to ensure that mission-managed institutions provide a conducive environment for high-quality instruction backed by state resources.
In addressing security concerns, the Governor reassured the public that comprehensive safety measures have been implemented to protect the academic calendar. He commended the resilience of educators as the frontline heroes of this recovery and issued a directive to school administrators to maintain rigorous attendance records.
This official oversight reinforces the government’s stance that the state’s social and economic engines are fully operational, signaling to both citizens and investors that Anambra is firmly back to business.
