“EBF had in previous years carried similar educational outreach along the riverine communities in Delta State. This is the first official educational outreach outside Delta state which took place at one of the Niger Delta riverine communities of Ondo State.
“Our mandate as an organization is to reach to as much as we can within and outside Niger Delta, Nigeria and Africa at large,” he added.
In acknowledgement, the Headmaster of the school, Mr Boluwaji Omosehin stated that this is the first time ever for them to receive an NGO from outside their state to reach out to the kids.
He appreciated all who facilitated the move.
