Edafe Emakpor, the member representing Uvwie Constituency in the Delta State House of Assembly. He referenced Hon. Emakpor’s earlier donation of ninety-eight school uniforms to the pupils of the school and stated that his contribution was his own way of supporting the less privileged and promoting education in Uvwie LGA.
He also advised the students to seize the opportunity and perform their best in the examination, as this could be a stepping stone to greater achievements in the future. His promise to continue supporting his community, particularly in the area of education.
The Head Teacher of Alegbo Primary School, Chief Mrs. Otevwerhi Patricia Kehinde, expressed her heartfelt thanks to Mr. Efe-Esharedoro and the entire Emakpor Political Family for their unwavering support for the grassroot and down trodden people. She prayed for blessings upon him, acknowledging the political family’s consistent efforts in uplifting the community, particularly the students who are the future leaders of the nation.
In separate speeches, Mr. Eworitse Hillary Oruru, Mr. Aliu Moses, and Ms. Oghenevwede Anita Tejiri, all members of the donor’s team, affirmed their commitment to supporting projects that will bring development to Uvwie LGA, regardless of the political affiliations of the beneficiaries.
The beneficiaries, overwhelmed with gratitude, expressed their joy, describing Mr. Efe-Esharedoro as a “God-sent” figure who had provided them with a lifeline at a time when they had almost given up hope of taking the examination. They vowed to make the most of the opportunity and perform admirably in the examination.
This noble act is a testament to Mr. Efe-Esharedoro’s dedication to empowering the next generation through education, ensuring that every child, regardless of background, has a fair chance at success. His continued support for the people of Uvwie LGA is sure to inspire greater strides in community development and education.
