A passionate appeal has been been made by the Edo State headquarters of the Centre for Childcare and Youth Development (CCYD), to the state Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, to come to the immediate rescue of the centre, following a violent rainstorm that blew off the roofs of the buildings of its school and charitable centre, located in Uromi, the administrative headquarters of Esan North East local government area of the state.
The strong appeal was made by Professor John Imonbhio Abhuere, Chairman and Founder of the centre, through a press statement made available to journalists in the state.
Prof Abhuere, who is an important traditional title holder of the Ovenrofuare (the sun brings peace and joy) of Ebelle kingdom of the state, due to his notable development and philanthropic drives, also appealed to public-spirited organisations and individuals, to come to the aid of the educational, leadership and management centre.
“We appeal to Governor Okpebholo, governments, organisations and individuals, to come to our rescue, urgently, so that the school children could resume their academic work and other activities of the centre, that are significant to the children, youth parents and the Edo society”
Said Prof. Abhuere, an educationist, youth developer and social critic, who was the longest serving Director at the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).
