Soludo declares October 7 school-free day in Anambra

Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State has declared Tuesday, October 7, 2025, a school-free day to celebrate and honour teachers across the state.

The announcement was made by the Commissioner for Education, Prof. Ngozi Chuma-Udeh, in a statement released on Monday in Awka. She explained that since this year’s World Teachers’ Day fell on a Sunday, the governor approved Tuesday as a substitute day to mark the occasion.

Prof. Chuma-Udeh said the Solution Parents League would hold a mega endorsement march in appreciation of Governor Soludo’s achievements in the education sector. The Association of Private School Owners is also expected to participate in the event.

She added that teachers, parents, and school proprietors are to assemble at Alex Ekwueme Square, Awka, by 8:00 a.m. for the celebration, describing it as an opportunity “to give honour to whom honour is due.”
