Over 3000 pupils and students benefited from the largesse the Senator to whom they addressed their gratitude.
The massively attended ceremony took place at the premises of the Widikum-Boffe council recently. Chaired by the Divisional Officer for Widikum Subdivision, Ivo Chia Mungwa in the presence of the inspector for basic education, the first and second deputy Mayors of the Widikum- Boffe council, security officers, parents and several onlookers; a total of 2000 text books, 650 exercise books, pens, pencils and chalk was share to happy recipients. A generous move by Senator Enwe Francis Abi who places a premium of education. In the words of the Senator, “we understand the difficulties that our people have been facing in recent years and how this has affected the children and their education. these materials are our own little contribution to help these children build their future and also to lend a helping hand to their parents who are still recovering from the harshness of the crisis”.
the parents and pupils on their part were grateful to the senator and wished him God’s blessings. Wishes which the chairman of the occasion Ivo Chia Mungwa promised to deliver to the Senator faithfully. On his part the divisional officer encouraged the children to take their education serious with the start of this new school year and to stay positive. Ivo chia emphasized the need for these young ones to cherish peace and to work for the complete restoration of peace in the Subdivision by not being a part of any move of idea that seeks to jeopardize peace in the subdivision. He encouraged the parents that were present to continue to give the right home education to their off springs and also to continue to encourage the few who have been misled to come back to their sense as requested by the Head of State Paul Biya.
the enthusiasm with which both the parent and the pupils and students welcomed this gesture moved the divisional Officer to send a strong call to the elite of the Widikum subdivision to join the Senator in his fight against illiteracy in the subdivision.
