In a remarkable act of community development and support for education, the Isunambogu Social Club has generously donated 100 sets of desks and chairs to Students of Omu Boys’ Secondary School, Ibusa, in Oshimili North Local Government Area of Delta State. This initiative aims to improve the learning environment and enhance the overall academic experience of the students.
The donation comes as a response to the growing need for adequate classroom furniture, which had previously posed challenges for both students and teachers. Many students had been forced to share desks or sit in uncomfortable conditions, affecting their concentration and productivity. The intervention by the Isunambogu Social Club is, therefore, a welcome development that will provide comfort and stability for students preparing for their final examinations.
During the presentation ceremony, the President General of the Club, Engr. Patrick Okonji, emphasized their commitment to supporting education within the community. Speaking on behalf of the group, Engr. Okonji stated, “Education is the foundation of a prosperous society, and we believe that every child deserves a conducive learning environment. This donation is our way of ensuring that SS3 students have the necessary facilities to excel in their studies.”
The Chief Inspector of Education(CIE) Mrs Anyah Rosemary Nkechi,expressed deep appreciation for the donation, highlighting the impact it will have on both the students and the school as a whole.
“This gesture from the Isunambogu Social Club is highly commendable. It will go a long way in motivating our students and improving classroom conditions. We are truly grateful for this support,” he remarked.
Students who benefited from the donation also shared their excitement and gratitude. Many expressed how much of a relief it was to have comfortable seating, especially as they prepare for crucial examinations.
The Isunambogu Social Club, a group known for its philanthropic efforts, has continued to demonstrate its dedication to the progress of Ibusa and its people. This latest donation serves as a reminder of the power of community-driven initiatives in fostering growth and development.
Receiving the desks and chairs, the Principal of the School, Mrs Augustina Omife, thanked the Isunambogu Social Club for the impactful gesture and promised that they would be put to good use.
With this act of generosity, it is hoped that other well-meaning individuals and organizations will be inspired to contribute to the betterment of education in the region. As Omu Boys’ Secondary School students prepare for their exams, they can now do so in a more conducive and supportive learning environment, thanks to Isunambogu Social Club.
