Sandra Anagor, a student of Federal Government College, Onitsha who emerged the overall best student in NECO and WASC examinations in 2012 has rewarded with a scholarship 2.2 million naira by Governor Peter Obi. Governor Obi announced the scholarship package while receiving her at the Government House, Awka, earlier in the week. The Governor presented the elated student with a cheque of N2, 220,000 to cover for her six-year Medical studies at the University of Ibadan, where she had already been admitted.
Obi who was visibly proud of Anagor’s accomplishments said such performance will encourage him to keep visiting secondary schools in the state to encourage students to take their studies seriously, saying he would soon extend it to primary schools.
Reeling out names of Anambra people who are champions in their areas, Obi said the state would keep on searching for them wherever they are with the view of presenting them as role models to the younger ones.
Sandra Anagor in her remark expressed her surprise at the state government’s gesture, saying that Governor Obi has proved beyond doubt his commitment to quality education in the state.
Sandra’s proud parents, Azubike and Chinwe Anagor who accompanied her to the ceremony disclosed that the resurrected performance of Anambra people in examinations is attributable to Peter Obi’s investments in the education sector.
In her own remarks, the state Commissioner for Education said all thanks would go to the governor for his absolute love for the state.
