Rotary Club International has paid the registration fee for fifteen female students of Jauro Mashi Government Day Secondary School Mayogwoi , in Jalingo, Taraba State.
The club has also supplied and donated twenty-five school desks for ease of learning at the school.
Sylvester Vinks Danjuma, the Synergy President of Rotary Club Jalingo City who welcomed the District Governor, Goddy Nnadi, and his team to the State said the community school was chosen to be supported by the Club after a careful feasibility study.
“The Club, after due consideration, has resolved to pay the NECO Exam fees for fifteen (15) Female students which cost the Club the sum of Four Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira (N450,000.00) only”.
“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.”
The District Governor Rotary International District 9125, Goddy Nnadi who commissioned the project during a visit to Rotary Clubs in Jalingo said that the gesture was part of the Club’s activities aimed at humanitarian services to the less privilege.
“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”.
Danjuma called on the people of the State to join the club 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. I urge those in Government to endeavor to join us for more impact to be felt across the state”.
“We are also carrying out a tree planting exercise to curb the challenges of global warming and climate change, and I encourage all to do the same to address issues before they get out of hand. Already we are all feeling the impact of global warming and climate change” he said.
Nnadi called on the beneficiaries of the projects to make judicious use of the opportunity to better their future.
While appreciating the gesture of the club, the Principal of the school, Mrs. Cecilia Madaki recalled that the first encounter with the school gave it a precious gift of educating the girl child through skill acquisition ranging from hairdressing, cake making, tailoring, and ICT training.
She, therefore, thanked the organization for what she described as “impacting the lives of these future leaders and the pride of humanity”.
