Those of Aibotse /Igbe Nursery/Primary School got four note books with same quantity of biro, pencil and eraser.

The president of the foundation, Chief Fatai Aliu, a fellow of Chattered Economist of Nigeria (FCEN), said the gesture was in keeping with the objective of the foundation, which is to assist the educational development of the less privileged children, particularly those at the grassroots.

He said his foundation chose education due to its realization that it is the bedrock of every modern civilization, adding that education drives away ignorance to pave way for development.

He expressed believe that the gesture of his foundation would attract the attention of government and the well to do in the society to the plight of the less privileged school children.

Teachers and pupils of the various schools expressed  appreciation to the president of the foundation, praying God to replenish him.
