A few days ago, the second smart school built by the Otti administration was commissioned. It is located at Umuomaiukwu, a rural community in Isiala Ngwa North LGA.
Umuomaiukwu is one of the three villages that make up the Autonomous Community known as Agburuezeukwu which is part of the larger Oha Nsulu.
The mere mention of the words SMART SCHOOL evokes certain reactions. There is this feeling in some quarters that the state has been lagging behind in the implementation of the smart schools policy.
Those who feel this way are not completely wrong. Even the governor himself said at some gathering some months ago, “We have not done very well in the area of delivering the smart schools. But we will get it right.” This for me, is leadership. That boldness, that courage, to admit there are issues in policy execution, and even greater courage to ensure appropriate measures are put in place to fix them.
‘I have learnt to trust this governor’
