“Let’s support the Educational Scholarships System to enable the poor and less privileged ones around us to obtain simple and basic education.
“Poor education brings poor breeding, poor service delivery and poor maintenance culture of our economy and social investment.
“Dear friends, supporters and well wishers, let’s assist one or two persons around us as we plan on embarking on first term school resumption. ILLITERACY AROUND US, DIRECTLY AFFECTS US AS WELL.”
