The Principal of Akulunor Support Group for Odoziani (ASGO), Engr. Elvis Masor, has said that there is no reason why Nigerian youths should not get requisite education.
Speaking when he donated six thousand, eight hundred and seventy six notebooks to some secondary and primary schools in Ward 2, Ndokwa East Local Government Area of Delta State, Masor who was represented by Hon. Monday Akpe, stated that those who have the means should support the youths to be properly educated.
Some of the schools that benefited from the book donation include Obetim Commercial Secondary School, Etim-Uku Primary School Obetim-Uno, Divine Wisdom Academy School, Afor Mixed Secondary School, Iselegu Secondary School, Etiti Primary School, Okolori Primary School, Community Primary School, Iselegu Primary School, and Amenyi Primary School all in Ndokwa Eest LGA.
According to Masor, “education is very important, it is a very sound foundation for the youths as it prepares them to face future challenges.
“The future of our country depends on these children, the youths of today and if they are properly groomed, properly educated, we can be sure that Nigeria will be better.”
Speaking on why he chose to donate books to secondary schools, the philanthropist said, “the donation of books to the students is to let them know that the society cares about their education and that they should be more committed to their studies.
“Education is not something that we should toy with, the well-to-do individuals should encourage the students, the Delta State government is doing a lot to make the schools to be in different communities and it is necessary to complement the efforts of government by encouraging our children to make use of the facilities.”
Those who spoke at the schools where the donations took place, thanked Engr. Masor for the books and prayed for him to succeed in his activities.
Some of those who accompanied Hon. Akpe to donate the books include the Special Assistant to the Governor of Delta State on Youth Development, Comr. Godspower Ifeakachukwu Olili, Comr. Ajieh Kingsley Chibuzor, Dennis Chukwuemeka Madusonibe and other members of Akulunor Support Group for Odoziani.
