One of his illustrious sons a philanthropist Chief Dr. Uzoma Obiyo attracted the NDDC and built a standard block of classrooms with two offices, six toilets, a store and other facilities put in place to improve the quality of education within Nigeria Police Force, and to promote Police Education in this Community, Imo State and Nigeria at large”.

In his speech, Dr. Uzoma Obiyo, described the event as a special day in Nneise community, and the school came when his people didn’t know what to do about it.
He said, “the school came at a point in time our community was facing challenges of being made an autonomous Community
And that would inform what will help this community achieve that need of being an autonomous community. Then he said further that the community was lucky to have a brother like Ogbonnaya Orji who when in active service deployed all his contacts to be able to attract this school to the community that we are witnessing the commissioning of the permanent site
However, the police school has primary and secondary unfortunately at that time their people blindly did not know the importance and need to have this primary school not to talk about the secondary.
And my uncle Israel who volunteered a place of worship he built to the school as a temporary site, made sure that the building was provided for the benefit of the children to School.
A time came and they were battling with space and when all these things where going on I was not even in the picture, I didn’t know what was going on
So, my brother struggled all through to see how to accommodate the primary school” at that place of worship
He commended the efforts of Mrs Mercy Uchegbu, the pioneer head teacher who tried her best in all areas of school administrators, and the new head teacher whom he described as war Lord for her role.
