A Labour Party member, Hon. Mbachu Henry, representing Awka South Constituency I, has returned as a volunteer Physics teacher in his community public school.
In the letter sighted by Naija News, dated 13th July, the lawmaker wrote to the principal of Igwebuike Grammer School in Awka South in Anambra State requesting to teach as a volunteer instructor.

“Concluding, he assured the good people of Awka South 1 Constituency that he would devote his spare legislative time to committing his ample talents and experience to raising the next generation of Leaders.”
