Labour Party Lawmaker Returns As Classroom Teacher – Gives Reason For Action

Hon. Mbachu Henry, a member of the Labour Party representing Awka South Constituency I, has made a remarkable decision to return as a volunteer Physics teacher in a public school within his community.

In a letter dated 13th July, the lawmaker wrote to the principal of Igwebuike Grammar School in Awka South, Anambra State, expressing his desire to teach as a volunteer instructor. Recognizing the scarcity of science teachers in government-owned secondary schools across the state, he emphasized that his passion for education drives him to take this step.

The statement released about his decision read in part: “On Tuesday, July 18, 2023, Hon. Nigeria Henry Mbachu officially resumed as a Secondary School Physics teacher at Igwebuike Grammar School Awka, amidst cheers and extreme excitement…

His alma mater, which he visited on Thursday, June 27, 2023, for an oversight visit, inspired him to write to the Commissioner of Education seeking to be a volunteer Physics teacher in the institution where he began his career as a teacher, a request that garnered admiration from all.”

After securing approval from the Commissioner of Education on July 13, 2023, the lawmaker expressed his gratitude to the Executive Governor of Anambra State, Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo, CFR, for the successful recruitment of 5000 teachers, which has positively impacted the state’s educational system.

In conclusion, Hon. Mbachu assured the people of Awka South 1 Constituency that he would dedicate his spare legislative time to nurturing the next generation of leaders with his ample talents and experience.
