The Ujevwu community in Udu local government area, Delta state, has requested Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and other key stakeholders to help enhance the area’s education sector.
Secretary-General of the Community Mr Ovuomarhoma Ejovwo stated that the community was behind in education and that since becoming Chairman of the Education Committee, he had advocated for government and stakeholder support to strengthen the area’s educational sector.
He stated that they have an education committee task group to ensure parents send their children and wards to school.
” The Ujevwu Education Committee task force is in full operation to combat the issue of lateness to school, and children’s indiscipline in school. However in some cases our personnel do receive embarrassment from mothers who support the excesses of their children.
“Since my assumption as the chairman, we have created a total of 84 scholarships across primary and secondary schools, we help in enrolling more than 36 pupils in the last cognitive placement examination, BECE.
“We cannot do much without the support of stakeholders and we are using this opportunity to plead for more support from our amiable governor RT. Hon Sheriff Oborevwori to come to assist our programs, because his continuous support for infrastructural development, quality healthcare, agriculture, education and other key sectors of the state economy through the ongoing implementation of his MORE Agenda is an indication that he will support the mandate of Ujevwu Education Committee to make effective progress.
” We also call on our brothers Hon. Chief Peter Uviejitobor, Commissioner of Oil and Gas, Honourable chairman Udu LGA, Hon Chief Vincent Oyibode , Hon Oghenekaro Goru, Commissioner in Delta state oil Producing Areas Development Commission, DESOPADEC, Hon. Chief Jute Brown, SA to Governor Sheriff Oborevwori on Government Affairs, etc. Many of them have been supporting. “
