Tompolo Sets-up Education Trust Funds For Niger Delta Pupils by HammedSodiqq: 10:07am On Sep 19, 2012 |
As part of his effort to improve on the standard of education in the Nigeria’s Niger Delta region, a former leader of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), Chief Ekpemupolo, a.k.a. Tompolo, has established an education trust fund for indigent pupils in the oil producing communities. The ex-militant leader said the gesture would allow children from the region to have access to qualitative education. Tompolo spoke through the Foundation’s Director for Education, Mr. Job Bebenimibo, during a visit to Warri South West Local Government Area of Delta State. According to him, beneficiaries in public schools would be supplied school uniforms, sport wears, books and playground equipment, such as swings, adding that teaching aids would also be supplied to teachers. Commending the gesture, the Education Secretary, Mr. Oyabrinbride Godspower, said the foundation would assist the less privilege parents to give their children quality education. He particularly said that Tompolo’s effort in eradicating illiteracy from the region would complement the effort of South South Governors towards providing standard and qualitative education for the people of the region. Godspower had stressed that Tompolo’s effort was in line with the education agenda of Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan’s administration. He said that government alone cannot meet the needs and expectations of the less privileged pupils and urged individuals and organization to thread Tompolo’s path. It will be recalled that President Goodluck Jonathan pays some ex-militants billions of naira annually including Tompolo in order to curb criminal activities in the oil-producing region. http://dailypost.com.ng/2012/09/19/tompolo-sets-up-education-trust-funds-for-niger-delta-region-pupils/ |

This man has always been at the forefront of human development. Militancy was a push for regional emancipation. It was a cry for help, in the face of exploitation. It was a cause for the true heartbeat of the nation. For when the heart is troubled, the whole body suffers. Now that that ugly phase has ended, he has taken up another project aimed at impacting on his people. He may not be a fully baked Academician, but he has recognized the importance of Education. I think other prominent citizens should toe the same path, in giving back to the society. 2 Likes |

HammedSodiqq: This man has always been at the forefront of human development. Militancy was a push for regional emancipation. It was a cry for help, in the face of exploitation. It was a cause for the true heartbeat of the nation. For when the heart is troubled, the whole body suffers. The Billonaire Millitant Tompolo has; 1. The billions of Naira contract to supply Patrol boats to Nigerian Navy. 2. the billions of Dollars contract to patrol the creeks and Nigerian Coastal waters. 3. The billions of Naira contract to protect the pipelines (actually protection money to restrain his boys from this criminal activity) Giving some chiken feed to train some more militants is nothing. The publicity stunt would have worked if his " pupils education" has a wider coverage than the creeks.especially when all this settlement money disguised as contract was given out by the federal government and not by Niger Delta government. 3 Likes |
