Education Will Foster Future Security — NGO
By Ifeoma Ikem
The First British Charity Home Foundation, a non-profit making organisation, has donated writing materials to orphans and the less privileged of the Faith Reward International School Ijesha, Lagos.
Besides, about 10 indigent pupils’ school fees were paid by the foundation.
This is to cushion the effects of the economic hardship in the country.
The founder of the Evans Uchendu said the gesture is aimed at fostering educational support for the orphans and less privileged who are future leaders.
According to him, the hardship in the country where people are struggling to feed, and some children are being sent out of school because their parents can no longer pay their school fees is alarming.
‘We decided to come to Faith Reward International School, where we found out that there are about 10 less privileged children, orphans and children of the poor widows among pupils here.
There is even one, the father is alive but disabled; so struggling with these children and how to fend for them not to talk of paying school fees is a difficult task, so we decided to pay their school fees including other levies such as Parents Teachers’ Association PTA as well as donated other writing materials. If you see, this is a private school, so we have just ten of the pupils that fall within the category we are targeting at the moment. As always, I believe so much in the security of lives and property securing the future and I have this passion and believe that charity as such to children of the widows is a way of lessening their burden and giving the children access to meaningful education to become somebody in life.

I believe that when you take people out of mass illiteracy, it has a way of fostering future security”he added .
However, if we have people growing in an environment where they do not believe that somebody can support them, their mindset always say that insecurity is a thing of the mindset, so if we have these people and restoring that trust in their minds that people can actually help them, in the future they too will be motivated to help others.
Uchendu notes that as a security operative who knows the essence of security of lives and property, the number of out of school children for being unable to pay their bills would definitely add to the level of insecurity in the country.
“This is a private school, so we have just ten of the pupils that fall within the category we are targeting at the moment.
” I believe so much in the security of lives and property, securing the future and I have this passion and believe that charity to children of the widows is a way of lessening their burden and giving the children access to meaningful education to become somebody in life.
“I also believe that when you take people out of mass illiteracy, it has a way of fostering future security”, he added .

Mr Segun Arinze, a Nollywood actor stressed the importance of Education which is the best way to unlocking a brighter future; yet for many students across the nation, financial constraints have stood as insurmountable barriers to accessing quality education.
Segun urged other non governmental organizations to emulate this type of kind gesture to many out of school children, and give them a sense of belonging because education is the bedrock of individual, he said.
He advised the children to always be of good behavior, never associate themselves with wrong gang for them not to tarnish the image or reputations of Nigeria.
Responding, the proprietress of the school, Evang Ambassador Fedelia Ohemeyin who appreciates members of the foundation said that she never experienced such gesture.
According to her, I’m overwhelmed for this great opportunity for my school to be one of the benefiticary in this locality if not the first among private schools.
“I don’t know how to express my gratitude to them but I know that the God we serve will touch their lives. This Foundation will grow from strength to strength, glory to glory and power to power.
As he has started in this manner, the hands of God will never leave him.
Mrs. Olowoyo Fadekemi, a widow who lost her husband early into their marriage six years ago, coming to pay her child’s school fees was a miracle.
“I can say this is miracle. When the proprietress of the school called me that somebody was coming today to pay my child’s fee,
I was like, this can only come from God.
For the past six years that my husband left me early into our marriage, I have been all alone. After one month into the death of my husband, his family left us alone.

The Nigeria Association of Women Journalists,(NAWOJ), Ogun State Chapter Executives has unanimously passed a vote of confidence on Chairman NAWOJ SEKINAT Salam and the Financial Secretary, Charity James, saying that, their leadership reflect the ideal and objectives of NAWOJ.
This was revealed in a communique issued at an Emergency meeting of the Executive held at the NUJ State Council, Iwe-Iroyin in Abeokuta.

Speaking briefly with Journalists after the emergency Executive meeting, the Chairperson, Nigeria Association of Woman Journalists (NAWOJ), Com. Sekinat Salam, said the meeting was necessary as the news of her suspension was laughable and insulting because it is like a pot calling a kettle black in this case, saying that the Leadership of the State Council, Com. Wale Olanrewaju has no local standing to suspend her or any executive member, even he cannot be a judge in his own case.
According to her” The Leadership of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Ogun State led by Wale Olanrewaju has always been misusing power without recourse to the constitution of this noble Union, hence has no local standing to suspend me or any executive member “.
She said only the Central Working Committee (CWC) has the constitutional rights to sanction or suspend any members found wanting after due process has been followed.
While calling on members to stay calm, Com. Sekinat Salam assured members of positive representation of NAWOJ at both the State and National level, adding the success recorded under her administration cannot be overemphasized.
She therefore called on the National leadership of NUJ to critically look into the matter, either by setting up independent committee to investigate the issues and resolve the matter as quickly as possible.
