Seven years after Nigeria’s fratricidal war, the bucolic
Obohia community in Ahiazu-Mbaise local government area, Imo State, came alive,
rediscovering its soul, literally, with education as the tonic.

What used to be Eastern Nigeria had been devastated by
the 30-month civil war. But the people were not broken. Out of the ruins sprang
up community secondary schools. Secondary Technical School Obohia (SETESCO) was
one of them. It remains a study in communal effort.Established in 1977, the school admitted students from
all the nooks and crannies of old Imo State. The government only gave the
approval, there was no financial support.
