Anambra State government has approved the establishment of 30 public schools across the state.
This was part of the decision of the Anambra State executive council meeting held on Wednesday.
A press release by the state Commissioner for Information, Hon Law Mefor, PhD, disclosed that the schools would be built in communities where no public schools hitherto existed.
Part of the press release read: “Various significant decisions were made at the 22nd Anambra State Executive Council (ANSEC) meeting, which took place on November 12, 2025, at Light House Awka.
“The council agreed to build an additional thirty new primary schools across communities after receiving the report of communities lacking public primary and secondary schools.
“This will deepen the impact of the education programmes of the Solution Government and ensure that every community in the state benefits from the Soludo administration’s free education policy.”
Other decisions reached at the meeting included: the adoption of the 2026-2028 Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF), which paved the way for the 2026 Annual Budget to be presented to the Anambra State House of Assembly.
This it said will guarantee that the 2026 Appropriations Bill is assented to by December 31st, 2026, at the latest.
The council also commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), its chairman, Prof. Joash Amupitan, for the conduct of last Saturday’s election, while also scoring the conduct high in integrity.
It said: “The Council examined the November 8, 2025, Anambra State governorship election, in which Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo CFR, the candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), was decisively re-elected by an extraordinary 73%, winning in 21 of the 21 local government areas.
“The council stated that this proves the hypothesis that electoral success results from providing value and development to a people.
“The Council committed to rededicate themselves to duty and to finish strong, and they also expressed gratitude to Ndi Anambra for their faith in Governor Soludo and for their excellent conduct before, during, and after the governorship election.”
