Ugwuanyi’s administration has been consistent with the payment of their salaries and has implemented a number of excellent reforms in the education sector that have elevated Enugu State to distinctions both within the nation and abroad.

Ugwuanyi’s administration as a “education-friendly administration” and noted that the governor has done a lot of good things for the education sector, including converting teachers, paying inherited promotion arrears, hiring 1,000 teachers, renovating and building classroom buildings, and providing modern learning tools like computers and laboratory equipment.
“Your Excellency, we have never had it this nice,” she continued. That is a component of what you are viewing today’s secret. If you look at our schools, the setting used to be nothing to write home about when you entered them, but now it is conducive to teaching and learning. It has been donated to Enugu State by you.
“Our children performed well in the JAMB and WAEC exams. Among other accomplishments, our pupils are ICT compliant.

Reiterating the teachers’ backing for the governor’s and other PDP candidates’ senate campaigns, Mrs. Ugwuanyi emphasized: “We will do it exactly as we have done before.
