Special adviser to Abia State governor on basic and secondary education, Kenechukwu Nwosu has said teachers in the state must exhibit highest standards of professionalism to make impact..

Nwosu stated this in a chat with LEADERSHIP after a two-day orientation programme organised by the state government for newly recruited teachers  in the state in Umuahia, the state capital.

He said the only way the teachers can reciprocate the kind gesture of the governor, Alex Otti to them is to ensure they make positive impacts as well as offer their pupils and students quality education.

“The government has set a standard in the education sector by declaring free and compulsivity primary and basic education to improve literacy level and enhance the development of the state,” he said

The adviser, who made it clear that the present administration in the state has zero tolerance for any forms of corruption in the sector, lauded the participants for their attendance.
