for one year is to grow grains; the best investment for ten years is to grow trees; the best investment for a lifetime is to educate people. What you gain from one year’s growth will be grains; what you gain from ten years’ growth will be trees, what you gain from a hundred years’ growth will be people.”
The above assertion together with its importance in building a better and modern society of note is one which the governor of Enugu State, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, has long adopted as an article of faith.
This is considering that Enugu is not an oil producing state and is almost last in states’ cadre in the monthly federation allocation. But it seems obvious that the governor is ready to bend backward in his usual humane and altruistic nature to make more sacrifice in this direction, provided the state gets the needed basic foundation for future educational excellence and breakthroughs.
It is also of note that immediately after Ugwuanyi was reelected for second term in office, the state exco members in a meeting presided over by the governor gave approval for the award of multiple developmental projects in the state with the education sector taking the lion share. Approved to be awarded in the education sector was the construction and reconstruction of 263 classrooms across the three senatorial zones.
