It was all jubilation and praises for Governor Ifeanyi Okowa as Delta state political appointees in Aniochia North local government area flagged off the payment of West African Examination Council (WAEC) enrollment fees for 100 indigent students in the area.
A member of the group and chairman WAEC enrollment committee, Mr. Okolie Peter, who is a Senior Investment Analyst to the state government, made the presentation on behalf of other political appointees from the local government area.
Mr. Okolie explained that the gesture was aimed at ensuring that less privileged students whose parents cannot pay their fees partake in the upcoming examination.
The political appointee, however, encouraged others that are yet to make impact to support the needy in their respective communities as a way of complementing the governor’s concern for the people.
He said: “W should find a way to reach out to the people at the grass root because the governor may not afford to reach out to everyone but giving us appointments to serve under him means every nook and cranny is represented”.
Delta state commissioner for youth development, Ifeanyi Egwuyenga, is the coordinator of the state appointees in Aniocha North.
A female beneficiary, who spoke on behalf of others at Ezechima Grammer School, Odogwu Shunamite, appreciated the opportunity of being selected and promised to make the state proud.
