Ajede Distributes Notebooks To Public Schools In Ukwuani

In line with the Education Development and Teenager’s Mentoring programme of the Ajede-led administration, parents have been charged to prioritize and take full responsibility of the education of their children above anything else that seems to be trending.

The Executive Chairman, Ukwuani Local Government, Hon (Barr) Possible Ajede Esq gave this charge during the school-to-school distribution of exercise books to pupils in Primary 3 to 5 in public schools in the LGA.

Barr Ajede noted that the gesture however little was in acknowledgement of the hardbiting economic impact on families and how to help cushion the adverse effect on the education of the children.

Barr C.S.P Ajede who was represented by Mr Chukunedum Harry Dafikpaku, however lamented the decline in the quest to conquer ignorance via quality education in today’s society.

He therefore called for a concerted effort to reawaken education consciousness in the society.

Speaking during the distribution of the Notebooks to the pupils, the CEO IFYONE FOUNDATION, Ify Lovelyn AKA Ify One of Dublin advised the pupils to take their studies seriously while assuring them that the foundation will continue to partner with Ukwuani Local Government and her sister LGAs in the state to contribute their quota towards their education.

In the three public schools visited so far, over 500 pupils in Primary 3 – 5 in Ethiope Primary School, Obiaruku, Emeni Primary School, Obiaruku and Ugbeleme Primary School, Umutu were given 2-3 40 leaves books during the distribution.

Speaking during the exercise, the Ukwuani Local Government, Supervisor for Education, Youth & Sports, Mr SonDoc Ifeanyi Ebinum on his part, admonished the pupils to respect their parents and teachers and study hard to be a force to be reckoned with in the society tomorrow.

“Be serious with your education and be respectful,” he said.

Meanwhile, the school’s authorities and the pupils in their separate remarks expressed their gratitude to the council Chairman and Ify One Foundation for the gesture and prayed God to bless them.
