The Facilitator and Leader of the pro-good governance group, For By Us, FUBU Movement, Ugwumba Chika Ishionwu has applauded former House of Representatives member, Hon Emeka Atuma for donating a block of four  classrooms to the secondary school in his Ntalakwu community and also  the President Bola Tinubu administration for its several interventions in education 

Ishionwu who appeared as the Guest Speaker on a radio programme 'The Mandate' on Masters 105.9 FM described Hon Atuma as his role model, noting that his various interventions in community development as commendable interventions which others should emulate o equally contribute their quota for a better society. 

Speaking on FG's intervention in education under the Tinubu administration, Ishionwu proffered that the launching of NELFUND and and a strike-free school calendar so far are outstanding achievements, but he maintained that a lot more needs to be done to reach the ideal state of education that would turn around the fortunes of Nigeria for better.

"While we have witnessed several positive interventions in education by the Tinubu administration and also in Abia State, I believe there are rooms for improvement. For instance in my Amaoba Ime community, the state of the community primary school is nothing to write home about. The picture is not far different in other communities in Ikwuano LG and I believe that implementation of Financial Autonomy for LGAs would have paved the way for funding of basic education and primary healthcare. The  1999 Constitution as amended did not recommend three tiers of government for nothing. Basic education is suffering because funding does not trickle down to the LGs to take care of primary education which is their responsibility"

During the radio programme which is a belated edition of the 'International Day for Education, Ishionwu further debunked the street saying that education is a scam. "No, I do not subscribe to the popular notion that education is a scam, it is not. I would rather say that we need to achieve a certain level of education in order to unlock our potentials"

He further advocated for improvement in the reward system to attract qualified teachers into the educational sector 

Speaking on the theme of the Day, which is 'Leave No Child Behind', Ishionwu declares that it aligns with his personal vision for education. "For me education is non-negotiable. I strongly advocate we prioritise the educational sector and motivate students to achieve more by rewarding diligence and hardwork"

Ishionwu who recently rolled out JAMB enrollment and tutorials for 100 indigent Ikwuano students, said the free JAMB enrollment and tutorials is currently in its fifth year. He added that the programme has produced several success stories as some outstanding students has gone on to enjoy further assistance in their tertiary educational pursuits
