IF YOU CAN AFFORD A KOBO, GO HOME AND GIVE TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

The fate of our public schools is like those of our aged parents who depend solely on their children for survival after years of valuable contributions to making the children who they have become today.

It is with this in mind that discerning ndị Anambra have gone back to inject life into public Primary and Secondary schools within our local communities. The "adopt a school initiative" is one we must mainstream in a State like Anambra where Private/individual contribution to the GDP is at an enviable 98%.

Yesterday, I was at Amaenyi Awka to commission an education intervention project by one of our illustrious sons, Mr. Clem Nwogbo (Obu bụ Enyi Awka) at Capital City Secondary School and Amaenyi Community Primary school, Awka. Clem has amongst other contributions, built a one storey block of Assembly hall, library and digital learning room, plus a green lawn playground respectively for both schools. He has further recruited and pays the wages of about 20 qualified Teachers to buffer what the government currently provides. 

He calls it the Corporate Social Responsibility project of his company, Awka Millennium City, a Real Estate concern, with a client base across the country. I am delighted at this singular sense of community, which of course is typical of the Anambra Spirit. This is who we are!

I charged the parents and children to seize this lifetime opportunity to learn as Clem has caused a disruption that will positively alter the minds of our children, and most certainly will receive God's choicest blessings on behalf of thousands who may not have had the privilege of quality public education save for his intervention.

This is my call to other illustrious Sons and Daughters of Anambra State to get back to their communities and solve a problem. 

In places like Neni, we've had interventions in rural road construction of about 18km by the Late Anthony Enukeme (TONIMAS) God bless his soul. I also note the construction of 12km more in Adazi by individuals who understand the burden of development as a collective responsibility.

No one is too poor that they have nothing to give, and none is too rich that they have nothing to receive. If you can afford a pencil, go home and give it to the public school in your community. When we all have this mindset, then we can be sure that we are halfway into creating a prosperous homeland.

God bless you all Immensely.
