Kingsley Obiukwu, Executive Director of Bolton White Group and founder of the Kingsley Obiukwu Foundation, has unveiled plans to begin free adult education and food security initiatives in his community.

The business mogul made this declaration recently at the Nnewi South LGA youth stakeholders’ meeting.

Obiukwu noted that the initiative aims to provide accessible and impactful educational opportunities for individuals aged 25 and above in Nnewi South LGA, Anambra State.

He said it is in line with his foundation’s commitment to providing quality education and community development.

“We have developed the free adult education in Mathematics and English project to increase basic literacy and numeracy skills, boost employability and promote personal and community development.
“We aim to foster a sense of empowerment and self- confidence among participants, leading to positive individual and community outcomes,” he said.

On his plans to improve food security, Obiukwu stated that his foundation aims to alleviate food insecurity for 30,000 individuals (10,000 per year) across Nnewi’s three Local Government Areas (LGAs) over a three-year by distributing 10kg of rice to the identified beneficiaries in Nnewi South LGA.

He revealed that the initiative will begin with a pilot project in Nnewi South LGA, running from March 2024 to December 2024. This pilot project will serve as a crucial learning experience to inform the broader program rollout across all three LGAs.

Obiukwu also acknowledged that as people are going through challenging times, it’s timely and important to spread kindness and make a difference in the lives of those in need.
