“The notebooks, although small, will go a long way in reducing the burden on your parents and guardians. And I want to caution the headmasters and mistresses to ensure all learners have access to the notebooks. Let the learners have access to these books; do not sell or keep them in your houses. As a former pupil of Okpolo Enhwe Primary School, I shall pick up the immediate rehabilitation of the Okpolo Enhwe HM quarters, which will incentivise the HM to remain on the school premises instead of commuting from Ughelli to Enhwe every working day.”, Warri promised.

On his part, the Isoko South Local Government Authority Secretary, Pius Emamowho, characterized the gesture as a positive turnaround in the development of education, noting that the notebooks and the promise of rehabilitation of Okpolo Enhwe HM quarters were encouraging, adding that the notebooks would not only alleviate the financial burdens on parents and guardians but also enhance the learners’ learning processes.
