The governorship candidate of Young Progressives Party (YPP) for Anambra State 2025 poll, Sir Paul Chukwuma has lamented over the students poor performance in academic examinations under Governor Chukwuma Soludo's administration.

Chukwuma, in a statement issued on Tuesday, described it as a promise broken into pieces given that recent examinations results had shown that no student from the State was able to feature in both regional and national lists of top states with students who made five credits in their senior certificate examination.

"It has never been this bad in over a decade. This is a promise broken into pieces. Under the current Anambra State Government, we have witnessed such a decline to the extent that Anambra State was unable to feature in both regional and national lists of top states with students who made five credits in their senior certificate examination. A gain now lost. For us as a people, it is a dangerous signal for our State and the future of our kids," he added.

He blamed Soludo's administration for the poor performance, which according to him, is shocking and evident of underdevelopment.

"We have witnessed a shocking decline in some of the key indicators of development in our State. Once the leading light in education for over a decade, the current administration in Anambra State has caused this gain to wither. Today, Anambra State has significantly dropped in education rating, much so that our state now comes behind Abia, Imo and Ebonyi States in terms of students' performance," he stated. 

He, however, expressed hope in reawakening the State educational standard if voted into power on November 8 gubernatorial poll because with his 'New Anambra Agenda' would "build and sustain our progress."
