Okoku’s Foundation Donates 20,000 Books to Delta State Schools

The Greater Tomorrow Children’s Foundation (GTCF) has donated 20,000 textbooks to 40 schools in Delta State.

At a colourful and well attended ceremony held last week in Kwale, the GTCF, a charity-based body, founded by AFCON 1984 silver-medal winner, Paul Okoku, was able to actualise the donation through its partnership with Hon. Ossai Nicholas Ossai, representing Ndokwa and Ukwani at the House of Representatives.

IIn what will go down as one of the landmark humanitarian efforts to have happened to school kids in Delta State this year, textbooks shipped into the country from the United States of America, were given to cheery pupils and students, who gleefully rejoiced over the free donations by GTCF.

The books, comprising Mathematics, English, Physics, Chemistry and story books were presented to the schools by the foundation.

The benefiting schools were selected from three local government areas, Ndokwa East, Ndokwa West and Kwale, accounting for equal representation in the sharing process.

Speaking during the event, graced by about 300 persons and former Eagles coach, Adegboye Onigbinde, ex-Green Eagles stars, Henry Nwosu, Tajudeen Disu, Baba Otu and Edema Fuludu, all of whom added colour and spiced up the occasion, Hon. Ossai Nicholas Ossai expressed his delight in being able to put smiles on the faces of school kids, through the free provision of important textbooks required for thorough academic impartation.
