The Grand Patron of a non-governmental organization, Isoko Front Coalition (IFC), Comr. Israel Odhokpa Izomor, has donated a sizeable sum of learning materials to primary and secondary school students in Isoko North and South Local Government Areas of Delta State.
In commemoration of his birthday today 28th September, 2025, Odhokpa made the disclosure of the donation of over 2,000 notebooks and pens to students in the two LGAs
The distribution of the materials which took place last Monday at the selected schools, was aimed at inspiring pupils and students in their knowledge-seeking activity amid the current widespread economic difficulties.
The donor, through the spokesman of the 10-man delegation who embarked on the outreach, Comr. Edherezi Eremutha, stressed that the handout was in line with the commitment of IFC towards improving the quality of basic education in schools for more children to acquire basic literacy skills.
“In a bid to give back to the society, we are offering you these materials on behalf of our Director General and the entire IFC as support and to boost your learning pace” he said.
In her remark, the Head Mistress of Uthatho Primary School, Akiewe, Mrs Ogbogbo Lydia, expressed surprise and offered words of prayer to the IFC leader.
“We are indeed grateful for this kind gesture. We least expected this from anybody but since he deemed it fit to remember our children, God will continue to lift him up, he will do more than he has done now.
“God will guide and protect him and you the followers who are protecting his image here. More years be added to him so that by he time he returns back to Nigeria, we all will be celebrating, in Jesus name, Amen!.”
Reacting to the gesture, the principal of Oyede Comprehensive High School, Mr. Omojiroh Benjamin Akpos, stated “We are happy and we appreciate his gesture for coming to the aid of the less privileged and the school in general, we appreciate his effort so far. May God bless him and give him more life and prosperity,.”
