The week-long programme tagged, “Help One Million Children In Riverine Communities Get Back To School”, according to Dr Igban, was in pursuance of the aims and objectives of the foundation which priority is on youth and community development with special attention to riverine communities.

He explained that the board of trustees of the foundation chose education for the fifth edition of the reach-out programme because of the pivotal role it plays in accelerating the development of any society, stressing that quality education had remained a major challenge in the riverine communities.

Dr Igban expressed optimism that the donated educational materials which were presented to individual beneficiaries would help promote teaching and learning in the localities.

Thirteen pupils who were identified and made ambassadors of the foundation in the course of the programme were encouraged to sustain their brilliant academic performance that made them to be selected as ambassadors of the foundation.

They were awarded scholarships from primary to university levels by the Eric Igban foundation which also made five teachers ambassadors of the foundation for their hard work and commitment to children education.
