“Before, our children were sent to live with people simply because they promised to train them in school. But they ended up abusing the children. However, today in Enugu, no woman has any reason not to send her children to school because Governor Peter Mbah has democratised quality education by building Smart Green Schools in all the 260 wards of Enugu State, and it is free. No one collects a dime from you. Plus, the children get one square meal at school daily. They get free tablets, uniforms and other learning materials.
