Yola, Oct. 16, 2024 (TheGavel) — The Nkafamiya Rescue Mission, a non-governmental organization (NGO), has made a significant contribution to educational recovery efforts in Adamawa State by donating learning materials for pupils impacted by recent flooding. The presentation took place on Wednesday in Yola.
Mr. Ayuba Vandi, Chief of Operations for the organization, emphasized that the donation aims to support the government’s efforts to alleviate the suffering of students in affected schools. He stated, “We understand that many parents affected by the flood have lost their means of livelihood, and so we see the need to support them through the provision of learning materials for their children and wards.”
Vandi explained that ensuring access to learning materials would create a more conducive learning environment for students, stating, “When these pupils gain access to these materials, it will help them learn safely in schools, rather than being discouraged by the damages recorded in their schools.”
The donated items included 300 dozens of 40-leaf exercise books, 10 packets of biros, and 20 packets of pencils, aimed at aiding students in their academic pursuits.
Dr. Garba Pella, Commissioner for Education in Adamawa State, received the materials on behalf of the state government. He expressed gratitude to the NGO for their timely assistance and their commitment to supporting flood victims. “We appreciate the NGO for this gesture and for identifying with the victims of the flood disaster,” Pella stated.
He assured the community that the learning materials would be distributed judiciously to the targeted beneficiaries to ensure the objectives of the donation are met. Pella also highlighted that Governor Ahmadu Fintiri is actively working to enhance educational development in the state, considering it a priority sector.
This initiative reflects the ongoing efforts to restore educational opportunities for students affected by the devastating floods in the region.(NAN)
