All is set for the 6th Edition of Okoukoni Care Foundation free cash disbursement for the Enrolment of WAEC/NECO Examinations to Indigenes of Edo State, courtesy of Dr. Martins Okoukoni, a Frontline Edo 2024 gubernatorial election.
The Okoukoni Care Foundation free cash disbursement for the WAEC/NECO Examinations started six years ago.
The ceremony slated for August 26, 2023 will holds at the Uromi Town Hall, headquarters of Esan North-East local government area of Edo State.
According to the founder, Dr. Martins Okoukoni, “For over 6 years, Okoukoni Care Foundation have supported Edo State students for WAEC/NECO enrolment, free cash for start up businesses for the unemployed, and support community development.
“In this year free WAEC/NECO enrolment fee, the beneficiaries are draw across the three senatorial district of Edo State. We have online form enrolment that students can submit and referrals as well. The screening process took place at Eror Primary School Uromi, where all the candidates were present. The students undertook both verbal and writing tests which was headed by Dr. Francis Ilenloa Igberaese and the Chief Organiser, Hon. Kelvin Idogei.”
Dr. Martins Okiukoni then advised the intending beneficiaries to take advantage of the gesture by reading hard and passing their exams.
According to him, “in the near future you will come to realise the importance of WAEC/NECO certificate. If I didn’t have my O’level certificate, I wouldn’t have been accepted into foreign university which has made me who I am today. I understand the importance and I want the younger generation to understand the benefits too.
I’m not the type of man that want only their children to be better than others, I have learnt to share opportunities with others so that we can all grow and have a better society.
“To those that couldn’t make it, the opportunity comes every year, please take advantage of the following year. You could be lucky enough.
Dr. Martins Okoukoni encourage other well meaning Edo people to do their best in joining forces to supporting education of our Edo children noting that everyone can individually change the situation of Edo State.
“Government has to be involved. This is why we as people must clamour and support people with mandate for a change, so that we can effectively make human friendly policies that will benefit all,” he said.
