Following Omajuwa Simeon’s feat of becoming the first individual to teach Literature in English for 220 hours, the Delta State Government has described the achievement as a product of sheer determination.

Delta State Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, Mrs Rose Ezewu, who spoke in Warri, commended the Chairman of Warri South Local Government Area, Agbateyiniro Isaac, for supporting Omajuwa to excel.

Ezewu, who was represented by the Chief Inspector of Education, Warri South Local Government Area, Dr Samson Ugbejeh, stated that Isaac deserved recognition as one of the best local government chairmen in the state for his hard work.

She also gave plaudits to the Warri South Council Supervisor for Human Capital Development, Princess (Mrs) Misan Eke.

Representing Omajuwa, the Warri South Council Supervisor for Human Capital Development, Princess (Mrs) Misan Eke, said: “The 10 days were amazing. God was faithful and showed Himself in various ways. I asked him, as a supervisor in the council, if he thought he could do it, but he showed determination. With determination, we can achieve our goals. The chairman is extremely happy and proud of you, and his administration is fully behind you.”

On his part, Omajuwa said: “Thanks to God Almighty for this great achievement. Thanks to the chairman, Agbateyiniro; he never turned me down. Even when my calls disturbed Misan Eke, she always listened.”
