THE Rotary Club International has paid the National Examination Council (NECO) registration fee for fifteen female students of Jauro Mashi Government Day Secondary School Mayogwoi in Jalingo, Taraba.
The Club also donated 25 desks to provide enabling teaching and learning environment in the school.
The Synergy President of Rotary Club Jalingo City, Sylvester Vinks Danjuma stated this while welcoming the District Governor, Rotary International District 9125, Goddy Nnadi and his team in Jalingo on Saturday.
He said the community school was chosen to be supported by the Club after a careful feasibility study.
“The Club, after due consideration, have resolved to pay the NECO Exam fees for 15 Female students costing the Club the sum of N450,000 only. The club has also supplied 25 school desks to the school.
“Let me assure you that the Club will continue to partner with the school going forward, and will continue to extend her hand of fellowship in whatever way possible to help in reaching out to the needy and most vulnerable in the state,” he said.
Nnadi, who commissioned the projects said the gesture was part of the Club’s activities aimed at humanitarian services to the less privileged.
According to him: “One of the cardinal principles of Rotary is to impact lives positively which is the main reason for this visit to Jalingo the Taraba state capital in continuation with the service to humanity.
“Let me call on the people of Taraba State to join us as a platform of service to humanity.
“You must not be rich before you join Rotary. We have different platforms where you can donate willingly to those in need,” he said, and urged those in Government to join the club for more impact to be felt across the state.
The Club, he said, conducted tree planting exercise to curb the challenges of global warming and climate change, and urged the people to emulate the gesture to address the menace.
While noting that humanity was feeling the impact of global warming and climate change, Nnadi called on the beneficiaries of the projects to make judicious use of the opportunity to better their future.
The Principal of the school, Mrs Cecilia Madaki commended the gesture, adding that in its first encounter with the school, the club gave it a precious gift of educating the girl child through skill acquisition ranging from hair dressing, cake making, tailoring and ICT training.
She, therefore, thanked the organisation for what she described as “impacting the lives of this future leaders and the pride of humanity”. (NAN)
