Governor Otti’s Education Policy Prioritizes Quality, Affordability — Aide

The Special Adviser on Education to Governor Alex Otti of Abia State, Mr. Kenechukwu Nwosu, has said the administration’s education policy is firmly anchored on good governance, quality service delivery, and affordability for families across the state.

In an exclusive interview with ABN TV, Nwosu emphasized that the governor is committed to enhancing both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of education, noting that pedagogy must adapt to the rapidly changing global environment.

He highlighted one of the policy innovations: separating textbooks and workbooks to reduce financial strain on parents. According to him, the old system where pupils wrote directly inside textbooks, made them disposable and prevented younger siblings from reusing them.

“It is only fair to have textbooks preserved so that families with multiple children can reuse them. Workbooks will remain affordable and separate, allowing learners to combine the two for effective studies,” Nwosu said.

He added that this policy is informed by both his experience in education administration and book publishing, and aligns with Governor Otti’s resolve to make education sustainable, innovative, and inclusive.
