Abia First Lady, Mrs. Priscilla Otti, has prepared Abia school children for the 2025\/2026 academic session by supplying them with school bags, books, writing materials, and other essentials.<\/p>\n
The essential supplies were provided for the target beneficiaries under the back-to-school outreach programme of her pet project, the Safe Tent Care Initiative.<\/p>\n
At the launch of the programme for Abia Central Zone in Umuahia, Otti said, \u201cIt warms my heart to see indigent pupils return to school well prepared with essential school materials.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to her, the beneficiaries not only received the physical materials but, above all, were imbued with the hope that education would open up a window of opportunities for them to dream big and reach greater heights.<\/p>\n
She stated that the ultimate goal is to reach 1,000 primary school pupils across the state with school materials, beginning with 300 pupils in Abia Central who have received theirs.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat we are doing may seem like a single drop in the ocean; yet, as we all know, a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step, and today is one of those steps,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Otti stated that the outreach programme would be expanded in the coming years to reach more pupils across the state, thereby making the free and compulsory basic education policy of the Abia government more impactful.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur target is to extend this support to government primary school children in at least one school in each of the 184 wards of Abia State.<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough this, we will ensure that indigent children, wherever they are, have access to the essential tools of learning, and that free and compulsory education is not just a policy, but a lived reality,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n
The governor\u2019s wife stressed that investing in education remains a worthwhile venture as it \u201craises living standards. It strengthens communities. It gives children confidence and dignity.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis outreach supports that policy. It complements the government\u2019s broader development plan, to ensure no child is left behind because of a lack of materials, or because their parents cannot afford basic supplies,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
She urged pupils to aim high and achieve their life ambitions irrespective of their backgrounds.<\/p>\n
While highlighting the transformative power of education, she cited her husband, Governor Alex Otti, who defied his humble beginning and rose to the top, thereby serving as \u201ca living testimony of what education can do\u201d.<\/p>\n
She advised the beneficiaries to \u201ctreat what you received today as more than items\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cTreat them as tools. Use them to learn, to explore, to dream. Let your attendance be regular, your curiosity keen, and your effort strong.\u201d<\/p>\n
