The director, St. Bridgets Schools, Aba, Lady Bridget Nwankwo, has appealed for Abia State government’s intervention for schools blacklisted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) in Aba zone.
Lady Bridget said at the 35th anniversary and homecoming of the schools that the punishment had led JAMB applicants in the zone to register elsewhere.
She said while traveling to their centres for the examination, the candidates had been exposed to many challenges and dangers including traveling at odd hours.
Governor Okezie Ikpeazu lauded the feats schools achieved in character molding and uncompromised educational standard in the country.
Represented by the commissioner for education, Chief Chijioke Mark, he assured of the government’s assistance towards complementing the contributions of schools to the educational development of the state.
Presenting the fourth edition of the schools Golden Star magazine, former vice chancellor of Abia State University Uturu, Prof Mkpa Agu Mkpa, said the 75-page publication was rich in content and very educative.
Agu Mkpa, who has also served as secretary to the state government, appreciated the director for her civility, selflessness, and commitment to building future leaders with integrity.
Chairman of the occasion and rector of Abia State Polytechnic, Aba, Associate Prof Haglar Okorie, commended Lady Bridget for her educational concepts, describing her as a thorough-bred educationist.
