The Senator representing Ebonyi North Senatorial district, Senator Onyekachi Nwebonyi, has flagged off the distribution of educational materials, including school desks and other instructional materials, to schools across the senatorial district.
The event, held at Ohaukwu Local Government Headquarters, featured the presentation of some of the procured 2,000 units of 3-in-1 desks, expected to provide seating for about 6,000 pupils in both primary and secondary schools.
In addition to the desks, exercise books, English and Mathematics textbooks, and other writing materials were distributed to students.
Speaking during the ceremony, Nwebonyi, the Senate Deputy Chief Whip, said the initiative was aimed at tackling illiteracy and improving learning conditions in Ebonyi North.
“The development of every society is dependent on the quality of education given to our children, because today’s children are tomorrow’s leaders,” he emphasized.
The lawmaker highlighted some of his achievements since assuming office, including the construction of over 16 kilometres of concrete roads, distribution of vehicles, motorcycles, agricultural processing machines, and scholarships to over 300 students. He also disclosed plans to commence work on the 12-kilometre Ogudu–Odumoke road in Ohaukwu Local Government.
Nwebonyi, who assured his constituents that more interventions would come in the 2025 budget year, appreciated them for the mandate given to him, pledging not to take their trust for granted.
“I will continue to do extraordinary things to the glory of God and for the betterment of my people, the people of Ebonyi North,” he said.
The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ebonyi State, Chief Stanley Okoro Emegha, commended Nwebonyi for his performance, urging the people to continue supporting the ruling party.
Also speaking, the Commissioner of Education, Primary and Secondary School, Dr. Donatus Ilang, who represented the governor, urged other members of the National and State Assembly, corporate organizations, civil societies, private firms, and privileged individuals to follow the precedence set by Senator Nwebonyi to give our schools a facelift to global standards.
