GU Okeke empowers Indigent Students in Anambra

By Izunna Okafor

The Chairman, Board of Directors, G. U. O  Transport Services Company Limited, Chief Godwin Ubaka Okeke has empowered over one hundred (100) indigent students in Anambra State, under his scholarship scheme. The students were drawn from all the tiers of the nation's educational institution. The transport guru who would not want to reveal how much it cost him to keep the indigent beneficiaries in school said he derives joy from seeing people shedding tears of joy after he gets them empowered. He pointed out that he floated the scholarship scheme as a way of appreciating God who has been so good to him in his endeavours.
Chief Okeke who also doubles as the MD/CEO of GU Okeke and Sons Ltd. said it is a thing of joy for him to see students who would have dropped out of school becoming successful professionals. He said it was for that singular reason that he decided to construct the English language department building which was converted to Chinese language development center at Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka and a three storey building accommodating four hundred students at Paul's University Awka.
The GUO boss urged the affluent to always remember the less privileged individuals in the society.

One of the beneficiaries, Mrs. Juliet Okafor who is also pursuing a law degree in Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka, thanked Chief Okeke for his intervention, noting that she wouldn't have been able to continue her studies after the demise of her parents, if not for his support.

Bishop Ikeakor Flays State Governors Over Rising Debt Profile By Emeka Odogwu The Anglican Bishop of Amichi diocese, Most Revd Ephraim Ikeakor has raised alarm over the rising debt profile in Nigeria. Ikeakor noted that the nation's debt profile which has risen to N24.39 trillion as at December 31, 2018 is shameful, attributing such to lack of focus of the state governors, especially from the south east. The prelate stated this at Cathedral church of St  Andrews, Amichi in Nnewi south local government Area of Anambra state during press conference and facility inspection as part of activities marking the second session of the fourth synod of the diocese. Ikeakor noted that no debt profile by any Governor was justifiable, stating that the internally generated revenue of the states is enough to clear all debts and still take care of other aspects of governance.
