The Foundation made the call during a virtual zoom outreach and donation of educational materials to seven schools in the FCT.
In particular, the NGO foundation also donated educational materials to Junior Secondary School, Jikwoyi, Junior Secondary School, Kurudu, and the LEA Nomadic Primary School in Bwari.
According to the Chief Financial officer of the Foundation, Dr. Ejiro Osiobe, the Foundation was committed to positive change through educational support, human rights advocacy and academic research to foster economic growth and development.
Osiobe added that the provision of the COVID-19 safety guidelines by the government is critical to protecting students and staff in reducing the spread of the pandemic.
