Ibori to Sponsor Underprivileged Students in Delta

Former Delta State Governor, Chief James Ibori has announced the establishment of the Otemu Educational Foundation, aimed at transforming the educational landscape for underprivileged students in Delta state.

In a statement he signed and posted on his official social media pages, Ibori said the foundation will locate and sponsor brilliant students in Delta who cannot afford to pay their school fees.

“It is with great pride and a profound sense of purpose that I introduce the Otemu Educational Foundation (OEF). This initiative was born from a deep-seated belief in the transformative power of education and a commitment to uplift the indigent, yet incredibly talented youth of Delta State, Nigeria.”

Ibori, in his statement, highlighted the role education plays in breaking the cycle of poverty.

“Our foundation is committed to providing scholarships and resources to talented students who would otherwise lack the financial means to pursue their academic dreams,” he said.“By investing in these bright young minds, we are not only fostering individual growth but also empowering future leaders who will drive positive change in their communities and beyond.”

A dedicated web portal will be launched soon for the pre-selection process of the beneficiaries.

“Our goal is to create an environment where every student, regardless of socio-economic background, has access to quality education and the resources needed to succeed. With the support of our communities, partners and donors, we are confident that the Otemu Educational Foundation will make a significant impact, creating a brighter and more equitable future for all,” he added.
