The famous St. John Secondary School, Alor, which trained many prominent citizens of Anambra State, including Sen. Chris Ngige yesterday received further intervention, a cheque of N25 Million Naira, bringing the total given to them to N45million Naira,  from Gov.

The Governor also presented another cheque of N30 Million Naira  for the construction of the Maternity complex at Umudioka, which the State is building from the money she partly received from Bill and Melinda Gate foundation for being the best State in the South-East on immunization coverage.

Receiving the cheques, the Catholic Archbishop of Onitsha, Most Rev. Valerian Okeke thanked the Governor for recognizing the problems of Anambra, especially the lack of the building of human person through the destruction of the education system, and his efforts to rebuild it through series of interventions in schools in Anambra State. He said that schools in the State, including Alor boys,  were all in shambles before the Governor started the process of rebuilding them and that posterity would not forget him as he had etched his name in Diamond.

At the foundation laying ceremony at Umudioka, the Cleric recalled how there was non-existent healthcare system in the State, with no accredited hospital and Health institution all of which Gov.
