FRESH NIGERIA INITIATIVE UNVEILS STREET TO SCHOOL PROJECT, FLAGS OFF 5TH EDITION OF SCHOOLS CLEAN UP IN IKOT EKPENE

As schools resume, a not-for-profit organization, the Fresh Nigeria Initiative for Sustainable Development in collaboration with the Ikot Ekpene/Obot Akara Partnership Project, has unveiled the 5th edition of its Schools Clean-Up Project aimed at improving the learning environment in selected public schools across the area.

Declaring the project open, Principal of the Fresh Nigeria Initiative, Prince Samuel Ukut, stated that the Schools Clean-Up Project is focused on vegetation control and environmental sanitation in public schools to ensure students resume academic activities in a clean and conducive environment without losing valuable study time to grass-cutting exercises after long holidays.

Flagging off the project at Methodist Girls Secondary School, the Honourable Commissioner for Information, Akwa Ibom State, Ini Ememobong, in company of the Assistant Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party in Akwa Ibom State, Mr. Itoro Noah, commended Prince Ukut and the organizations for their commitment to improving the welfare and academic environment of students in public schools. He noted that the initiative would help schools save study time and enable students to compete favorably with their counterparts in private institutions. He also donated a hand-held lawn mower to the host school.

The Principal of the host school, Pastor Affiong Inua, appreciated the organizations for selecting the school as one of the beneficiaries of the project.
