His words: “Akwa Ibom elected me to serve them, to work for them. We are delivering on the campaign promises we made to Akwa Ibom people. Education is a key thing in the A.R.I.S.E. Agenda, and so we are determined, especially at the grassroots level.
“This school is next to the Government House, so it should be a model. We want to start here to create that model primary school we’re talking about. I have just interacted with the pupils, they are vacating on the 28th of this month.
“We will use the holiday to remodel this school. I believe we should invest in the Children, and this is when to catch them young. Schools renovated will have teachers resident there. I will give them little allowance to encourage them, particularly in the rural communities.
