VerseNews reports that the foundation, led by Mr. Obadiah Sankyai, inaugurating the distribution in Kagoro on Friday expressed its commitment to supporting education at the grassroots.
“Having found myself as an educational entrepreneur, I have to give back to the society and community where I come from. This is my way of saying thank you to my community for raising me to the level I have found myself today. I am very passionate about education, and that is why I decided to help our young ones in this area,” he said.
