As part of efforts to ensure Esan youths are taken away from the streets, the Association of Esan Professionals(AEP) has launched a N250 million Education Trust Fundraising to improve the standard of secondary education in its coummunities.
During the fundraising event which took place recently, chairman of the day, Adolor of Ewatto and Odolagbon of Warri Kingdom, Chief Leemon Ikpea, said the event could not have come at better time than now, adding that what AEP was striving to achieve as an association was to ensure that there were no out-of-school-children among the Esan people.
Ikpea said for Esan coummunities to be free of out of school children, educational infrastructure, tools and other necessary resources that would help make the standard of education high, must be provided for schools.
He contended that left for the Edo State government, the principal objective of education would not be achieved, adding that these challenges necessitated the decision of AEP to assist by organising a N25 million Education Trust Fundraising event to achieve desired result.
