Peter Obi Celebrates DMGS Onitsha’s 100th Anniversary
Peter Obi, former governor of Anambra State, has emphasized the transformative power of education in fostering development and innovation. In a statement shared on his X handle to mark the International Day of Education.
Obi celebrated the 100th anniversary of Dennis Memorial Grammar School (DMGS) Onitsha, describing it as a “great citadel of learning” that has made remarkable contributions to education in Nigeria.
While addressing students at DMGS, he praised its distinguished alumni, including Prof. Kenneth Dike, Africa’s first Black Vice-Chancellor; Emmanuel Ifeajuna, the first African to win Commonwealth gold; and Prof. James Ezeilo, former Vice-Chancellor of UNN. He encouraged students to emulate these icons by striving for greatness through education.
He also visited schools in Anambra’s rural areas, including Community Primary School and Our Lady of Lourdes Secondary School in Nmiata-Anam.
He reminded students of the importance of education and pledged support to improve learning conditions.
Obi also reflected on fulfilling his promise to the Nmiata-Anam community by constructing a bridge and road, connecting the area to the rest of the state.
It has been reported that a Nigerian won the 2026 Spelling Bee World Championship, which was held in Shanghai, China. The winner, Chinedu Great Okdediachi, has now returned home to Delta State after his victory.
It can be noted that the student had already emerged as one of the Gold Award winners in the Middle School Group category.
“Congratulations once again, Chinedu! Your success continues to inspire young Nigerians to pursue excellence through education. Welcome home, Champion!”
The young star has made Nigeria proud by winning the international competition.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has stated that his administration’s economic reforms have helped stabilise Nigeria’s economy and placed the country on a path toward steady growth.
He said “My reforms have stabilised Nigeria’s economy and put it on a path of steady growth.”
The President added that the reforms are creating more opportunities for development across the country.
However, many Nigerians reacted online, with some questioning the impact of the reforms and saying they have yet to experience the positive effects.
Nigerian politician and FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has said that he is aware many civil servants do not like him.
He shared that he understands why he is unpopular among some civil servants, explaining that funds previously spent on unnecessary conferences are now being redirected to road construction projects.
He said “Some people say conferences for corruption and I say what is that? You are going for conferences to do what? These are ways government funds are being diverted. I say put this money in this road here and the people will get the impact.”
