He called for urgent intervention to resolve the impasse and ensure that teaching and learning resume without further delay.
The one-time Anambra state governor made this known in a statement shared on his X handle (Formerly Twitter) on Thursday.
Obi in his statement described education as the most critical and immeasurable component of human development, emphasising that a nation’s progress is closely tied to the education of its people.
“It is a known and verifiable study that the more educated a nation is, the more developed it is. Consequently, the most important investment and policy a nation requires is educating its people, especially children, to secure their future,” he said.
