The governor disclosed that the board was saddled with the responsibility of managing and controlling all post-primary schools and institutions, being state schools within the context of the education law.

Recalling that Enugu State was recently ranked first in pass rate (93.9%) among the public secondary schools in Nigeria and second best-performing state in the country that sat for the WAEC examination in 2021, Gov. Ugwuanyi said: “These feats and more are testament to the quantum of investment the state has made in the infrastructure, human resource and supervision of the state post-primary schools system.”

Congratulating the new members of the PPSMB on their appointment and inauguration, the governor told them that their track records evidently recommended them for the strategic assignment.

He enjoined them to ensure a sustainable improvement in the quality of teaching and learning in the state post-primary schools through staff optimisation, development, motivation, discipline and effective supervision of the schools under the Board.

Responding, the chairman, Favour Ugwuanyi, appreciated the governor for finding them worthy to serve on the Board and promised the governor that they will take the PPSMB from the level they met it to a higher level.
