The Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of the Scientific Equipment Development Institute (SDI), Akwuke, Enugu, Prof Sam Ndubisi, recently set the hearts of the pupils and teachers of primary schools in Mgbowo racing when he donated 6o desks to schools in the locale.
Ndubuisi, who visited the locale recently, made the donation at the Central School Extension, Ndi Ulo Imama Mgbowo, from where other schools would get their desks from.
Presenting the desks, Ndubisi thanked the teachers and other members of the community for their unending efforts in ensuring that the light of education is not extinguished in Mgbowo, noting that Mgbowo remained respected in the whole of Awgu Local Government for her academic prowess and could not afford to take the back seat in this time and age.
“It crushes my spirit to the present generation of Mgbowo children lagging behind in education. There is a lot to do, but these desks are a great starting point and are considered an encouragement for these children, who need to experience the kind fo great education their forbears had, so that they can know the value of education.”
The donations would see each of the six schools – Central School Extension, Ndiulo Imama, Central School Imama, Community Primary School Inyi, Community Primary School Ezioha, Town School Amata and Community Primary School Eziobodo Alachara, all located in Mgbowo town – get six desks each.
Exceedingly overjoyed, the teachers and pupils of the beneficiary schools were exceedingly overjoyed and thanked the academic for his charitable gestures towards their schools, just as they called on other to emulate SEDI and promised that they would continue to encourage and teach the children.
