An Education altruist cum enthusiast, Engr Bart Nwibe, has
fingered education as the singular tool that can cause the desired
socioeconomic revolution in the country, while frowning at the what he
described as the poor attitude of firms and government towards education
in the country.
Engr Nwibe made this assertion while receiving a 15-man
delegation of Anambra Teachers Forum, in his foundation office at
Igboukwu, Aguata Local Govt. Area of Anambra state.
Nwibe also observed that education gives equal opportunity
to everyone to attain any desired height in life, saying that this is
what informed he sustained effort of his foundation, Ugo Igboukwu
Foundation, which has run for 15 years already with not less that 10000
young people from across Anambra state as beneficiaries, to, besides
giving full scholarship to children who show a degree of academic
brilliance, also run an adult education program that equips disadvantage
adults with literacy skills.
The chairman of the Teachers' Forum who lead the 15-man
delegation, Comrade Peter Ezekwe, in his introductory speech, narrated
how the activities of Ugo Igboukwu Foundation has kept alive the dreams
of countless bright children and youths from indigent homes in the
state, saying that this was why the forum members who are first hand
observers of the effect of Bart Nwibe's philanthropy have decided to
collectively sought to encourage commend his efforts and encourage him
to continue.
"Engr Bart Nwibe may not fathom the gravity of good he is
doing in this state with his educational empowerment programs, but I
stand here to say that there is no philanthropy greater that educational
empowerment as it is the best way of doing the proverbial " teaching
how to fish", as removed from the conventional hand-outs that most
well-to-do but misdirected persons do these days," Ezekwe enthused.
