Recall that since the inception of his administration, Governor Soludo has continued to preach ecumenism/oneness of body of Christ calling on church leaders to always preach unity, peace and love without which it will be difficult to achieve progress and development in the state.

Soludo has continued to walk his talk in bid to end the era of school without teachers. Previously during the World Teacher’s Day at the teacher’s house Awka, he promised everything must be done to improve the quality of education in the state which shall include emergency on reconstruction of public school across the state.

His gesture to the Mission’s Public Schools is aimed at ensuring that quality of education, employment of qualified teachers and improvement of teacher’s welfare will be achieved both at government public school and as well mission’s public schools in the state.

Leaders of the respective denominations were handed over the symbolic cheques by the Governor.
