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 was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
