Also anticipates “first of its kind” grand home-coming.
Senator Enwe Francis Abi member of Cameroon’s upper house of parliament from Momo Division, has responded to a natural call from his people. On August 30th he dished out 2000 text books to pupils and students of his native Widikum constituency as well as 600 exercise books. The exercise at the Widikum Bofe council premises was a medium for the people’s representative to keep touch with his local population through the provision of this key didactic which is a major tool to fostering UNSDG on right to education.
The ceremony ,according to the Taranus Mbi , special representative of the senator, comes on the heels of multiple appeals made by parents and pupils for the latter to come to their rescue. The natural call which fell on safe grounds saw a total of 3000 beneficiaries tapping from the people representative’s largesse.
Under the chairmanship of the Divisional officer of Widikum Subdivision, Mr. Ivo Chia Mungwa in the presence of municipal authorities and security and defense chiefs on the one hand and principals of schools and Inspectors of education alongside parents and some curious onlookers who all took turns to appreciate the donor with optimism and hopes that the academic year will know a new positive twist.
For their part, the beneficiaries promised to use the books diligently during the learning process come September 9/2024.
The administration through the Divisional officer promised to convey their words of gratitude to the donor of the gifts.
The Divisional officer, before wishing the participants a safe return to their various homes, continued to echo the message of peace to all sons of the Subdivision still terrorizing the population, and any other person conniving with them to allow the innocent kids to have a peaceful academic year because it’s a fundamental right for the kids to be educated. He also called on other Elite of Widikum Subdivision to join Senator Enwe Francis Abi in redynamising the educational landscape.
School resumption in a greater part of Momo division has been threatened with either total or partial boycott following a longstanding gun battle between separatists and state run militia since 2017. While this exists, the elite have been enjoined to shoulder the challenge and combat a lingering escalating illiteracy ratio if nothing is done.
