Anambra Government Supports Supreme Court Ruling on Communities

The Anambra State Government has expressed its approval of the Supreme Court ruling that opposes the creation of autonomous communities within the state. The government agrees with the Supreme Court's position that such a move could lead to the fragmentation of larger communities, resulting in confusion and conflict.

Law Mefor, the state Commissioner for Information, conveyed this message in a statement following a State Executive Council meeting held in Awka. The council advised individuals advocating for autonomous communities to abandon their efforts in light of the Supreme Court judgment and instead focus on uniting and developing their existing communities.

Additionally, the council dismissed rumors regarding plans to reclaim mission-returned schools, affirming that there are no such intentions. The council also noted ongoing renovations of primary schools under a funding agreement with the Federal Government and announced the recruitment of 8,115 teachers for public schools, with 3,500 deployed to mission-returned schools.
