“I am The Only Governor with Children Schooling in Nigeria”- Nwifuru

His Excellency Rt. Hon. Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru last Friday January 3, 2025, revealed that, all his children are school in Nigeria because he does not want to cultivate the lifestyle that he cannot maintain when he leaves office.

He has therefore advocated the improvement of Nigeria’s education system to reduce the habit of Nigerians sending their kids to foreign schools. According to him, three of his children are in schools Ebonyi, while two are schooling in Enugu State.

“I am the only Governor in Nigeria presently that all his children are schooling in the country and not even beyond Southeast!

“Three in Ebonyi and two in Enugu. Their biggest school fees is N35,000 and when I told them in the Nigeria Governor’s forum, all were surprised and felt sober.

“Some Commissioners in my Government has schools they are paying over 2Million naira per term for their children but I cannot imagine myself paying such amount that’s more than 5Million per term for my children.

“Where will I get the money to continue paying for their school fees after my temporary tenure as a Governor? I do not want to develop blood pressure during the time I should be resting.

“We must have to join hands together and reposition educational system in the country such that we can bring down those things that are lacking here that is making those big men to always send their children abroad for studies and I must make sure it starts from Ebonyi State.” His Excellency, His Excellency Rt. Hon. Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru said.
