Teaching is not merely a profession but a ministry. It involves nurturing tomorrow’s leaders and is driven by the passion to positively impact young lives, regardless of one’s position or social class.

Hon. Mbachu Henry, a member of the Labour Party representing Awka South Constituency I, has returned to his community public school as a volunteer Physics teacher. Recognizing the shortage of science teachers in government-owned secondary schools in Anambra State, he decided to teach out of his genuine passion for education.

In a letter addressed to the principal of Igwebuike Grammar School in Awka South, Hon. Mbachu expressed his intention to serve as a volunteer instructor. On July 18, 2023, he officially resumed his role as a Secondary School Physics teacher at the institution, receiving a warm welcome and overwhelming excitement.

During an oversight visit to Igwebuike Grammar School on June 27, 2023, Hon. Mbachu assessed the learning environment and conditions of the students. Coincidentally, this school was his alma mater, and he had previously taught Physics there at the beginning of his career. The request to become a volunteer teacher of Physics left everyone in awe and admiration.

After obtaining approval from the Commissioner of Education on July 13, 2023, Hon. Mbachu expressed gratitude to the Executive Governor of Anambra State, Prof. Charles ChukwumaSoludo, CFR, for successfully recruiting 5000 teachers to enhance the workforce in public secondary schools. This initiative has positively impacted the development of the state’s educational system.

In conclusion, Hon. Mbachu assured the constituents of Awka South 1 that he would dedicate his spare legislative time to utilizing his talents and experience in raising the next generation of leaders.

This is an inspiring and commendable endeavour.
