The Executive Director of the Foundation, Hon. Lucky Worluh who presented the cheques during a ceremony at St John’s Anglican Church Rundele said that the ceremony was in line with his commitment towards improving the condition of the less privileged in the area.
Hon Worluh who was represented by the former Secretary of the Emohua Local Government Council, Mr Godson Egwanwor also said that the programme was inline with Governor Amaechi’s commitment towards creating opportunity for everyone to excel in his chosen career.
He urged the beneficiaries to make proper use of the money to improve their condition.
