From Omoregie Elvis

For the pupils of Iguemokhua Primary School in Orhionmwon Local

Government Area of Edo State, it was a day that they will ever lived

to remember.

A day when over 200 of them were given free uniform, school sandals,

stockings, and writing materials to assist in the actualization of

their educational goals, courtesy of a German based Edo indigene, Mrs.

Comfort Osunde Emmanuel.

The pupils were full of incitement when they were told by their

teachers that they were going to be given a new uniform by a well

spirited individual. So they comported themselves in a civilized

manner and waited patiently and eventually, they got it.

For those who benefited, the problem of I do not have uniform or other

school materials will no longer come up from the pupils and this will

be in no small measure foster a very strong education foundation for

them who are the future leaders of that community and by extension,

Nigeria as a whole.

Also impacted on, were the orphanage homes at Uyiosa and Charry Love,

both in the state capital.

The donor, Mrs. Comfort who came in company of her German christian

brother, Mr. Fuhrman Frank, said she was inspired by God to show

kindness to the less privileged in the society irrespective of tribes

and religion.

She said she derived joy and satisfaction from helping the less

privilege adding that she did not see what she is doing as a challenge

but a calling to help the needy in the society.

“I do not believe that there is much challenges. There is no

challenges because we work under the fear of God and His instructions.

He is our guardian.

“Actually, nothing much but because of the fear of God in me, that

makes giving to the less privilege ones, the orphans, the widows and

the widowers so interesting to me.

“Giving is one of the fastest means to get God blessings. No matter

the little thing you have, it is good to share with others who are in

need.

“I do not have any motive but I just do it to please my father in

heaven and that make me happy because I love to see people smile and

happy and when they are happy, I am also happy.

“By the grace of God, anything that God places in our hearts to do for

Nigerians or Edo State, or Iguemokhua village or other villages, we

will do it but for now, we leave everything in the hands of God”, she

said.

The visiting German, Mr. Fuhrman Frank who is visiting Edo State for

the second time, said he was going to take the message back to his

country and fine tune how many of the school pupils in the rural areas

can be assisted.

“I am here to see my brothers and sisters of the same believe in

different country and to see their conditions and how they are living

and to help a little bit to improve their conditions.

“My sister is doing all these work because she knows her people, she

knows their conditions of the people in the orphanage, of the people

in the villages and so on. I am here to support her so that she can do

all that she is doing.

“I have seen it with my own eyes and I can share the testimonies about

this to my people in Germany and to see if they can also do something

on their own to help”, he said.

He commended the people of Iguemokhua for their hospitality and the

joy in which the pupils received the uniform and other stationery

given to them.

“You know, there are different culture, languages and climate. So you

have to cope with all that.

“You also know that if you are coming to the country you have never

been to before, you have to learn a lot, how to communicate with the

people, how to understand them but all these are going on smoothly but

for my sister, she is born in this country, she knows what to do and

how to do them”, Mr. Fuhrman said.

The Executive Secretary of Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND) Arch. Sunday Silver Echono, will on Thursday, December 5th, 2024 deliver the 36th Convocation Lecture of the Federal University of Technology (FUTO), Owerri.

FUTO is the oldest university of technology in Nigeria, established in 1980 by Nigeria’s first Executive President, Shehu Shagari.

Arc.Sunday Sylva Togo Echono OON is a Nigerian diplomat, and architect who serves as the ninth Executive Secretary of Tertiary Education Trust Fund from 2022 till-date. Previously, Echono served as the Secretary of the Admissions Committee of the Nigerian Institute of Architects and the 28th President of the Nigerian Institute of Architects from 2019 to 2021.

Sonny Echono was nominated by the Board of TETFUND in early 2022 and was subsequently appointed as the substantive 9th Executive Secretary (ES) of TETFUND on March 18, 2022, by former President Muhammad Buhari.
A former permanent secretary in federal ministries, Echono had been honoured by governmental and non-governmental bodies locally and internationally. He is a recipient of Officer of Order of Niger (OON).
