The NUT working committee also applauded the Ukwuani Council Boss for his #DoMoreAgenda administration’s Education Development initiative, through which he has supported both primary and secondary schools pupils/students across the LGA with educational materials – provision of textbooks for stocking of libraries, distribution of notebooks, bags, school uniforms, and free NECO/WAEC registration for indigent students, among others.
The Ukwuani Chapter of the NUT further expressed their appreciation for the grand reception accorded to members of the NUT, as well as for the provision of free medical care for the teachers during the recent screening and physical verification of workers in the local government by the Delta State Civil Service Commission, Asaba.
Meanwhile, Comrade Obi has pledged the continued loyalty and support of the NUT to the Ajede-led administration.
