In a move to promote education in his zone, Onyekachi Nwebonyi, the Deputy Chief Whip of the Senate and Senator representing Ebonyi North, has distributed educational materials worth millions of naira to schools in the Ebonyi North senatorial zone.
Performing the distribution at Ohaukwu Local Government Headquarters on Saturday, Nwebonyi thanked Governor Francis Nwifuru for providing an enabling environment for the growth of education in the state, noting that his effort is to complement the efforts of the state government.
The items donated include school desks, writing materials, and textbooks, which will be supplied to schools across the district.
He noted that the procured 2,000 units of 3-in-1 desks will provide seating for about 6,000 pupils in both primary and secondary schools, adding that the exercise books, English and Mathematics textbooks, and other writing materials were distributed to students.
“The development of every society is dependent on the quality of education given to our children, because today’s children are tomorrow’s leaders. This is why I have procured these desks and materials to support learning in our schools,” he said.
