Okowa’s CPS, Ifeajika distributes face masks to Delta schools

The Chief Press Secretary to Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State, Mr Olisa Ifeajika, on Friday, distributed face masks to staff and pupils of public schools in Illah community, Oshimili North Local Government Area of the state.

Ifeajika said while presenting the masks to the four public schools in the community that the gesture was at the backdrop of the resurgence of the pandemic and the vulnerability of school children and teachers.

The governor’s spokesman, who was accompanied by Mr Chuks Onwuatogwu and Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Media, Mr Nelson Egware, said that the prevailing second wave of COVID-19 had proved to be more vicious, and called for the consciousness and support of all stakeholders.

He stated that COVID-19 had affected socio-economic development of the world, including Africa and Nigeria.

Ifeajika appealed to authorities of the schools – Illah Grammar School, Itomorka Secondary School, Omorka Model Primary School and Iyioka Model Primary School – to take special interest in the care of the children.

He assured that infrastructure and human resource needs of the schools would be addressed in no distant time.

According to the governor’s aide, the second wave of the pandemic is deadlier than the previous one hence the need for all to adhere strictly to the preventive protocols.

“With the reopening of schools, the most basic thing to do is to ensure that pupils wear their face masks always and properly while in the classroom and playground.

“I am here today to support you with face masks and to ensure that we preach to our students the need to observe these preventive protocols,” Ifeajika stated.

On the poor state of the Asaba-Illah road, he deplored the Federal Government’s neglect of the strategic route to Abuja, saying that it was unfortunate that the government had abandoned roads in Delta and South-South.

“Due to the harrowing experience states go through to get a refund from the Federal Government when they rehabilitate its infrastructure, it has become extremely difficult for any state to intervene on federal roads.

“However, in spite of such attitude of the Federal Government, our amiable governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, has rehabilitated the Benin-Warri highway, the Asaba end of approach to River Niger Bridge and a failed portion at Ubulu-Okiti.

“By the grace of God, I am convinced without any equivocation that the governor will reconstruct the Asaba-Illah road if the Federal Government fails to do the needful,” he said.

A representative of the Director of Schools, Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education, Mr Charles Ojieh, thanked the Chief Press Secretary for the donation, adding that government alone could not provide all the needs of schools.

He charged the school heads to ensure that the face masks were judiciously used.

Responding, Principal, Illah Grammar School, Ms Vivian Juwah, thanked Ifeajika for his contribution and assured that the school management would do everything to ensure that the students adhered to the prescribed protocol to check the spread of the pandemic.

She disclosed that the school required infrastructural facelift and urged the governor’s spokesman to use his good office to attract infrastructural upgrade of the school.

On her part, the Headmistress of Iyioka Primary School, Mrs Joy Enueze, thanked the governor’s spokesman for his magnanimity and assured that the face masks would be distributed equitably to the pupils

Ifeajika had in May 2020 distributed food palliatives, face masks, hand sanitisers to churches, police, health centre, motorcycle operators and other residents in the community during the lockdown.
