The SIMAS Foundation has donated writing materials to pupils and students in selected schools across Emohua Kingdom in Rivers State, as part of efforts to promote education and support young learners.
The initiative, carried out under the Prof. Okey Onuchuku Foundation, is designed to assist students from different backgrounds and encourage them to remain focused on their educational goals.
The foundation’s team, led by its Coordinator, Dr Bright Kemkanma Aborh, visited schools in Rumuohia, Rumuche, Rumuakunde, Mgbueto, Mgbuitanwo, Isiodu, Elibrada and Oduoha communities.
During the exercise, writing materials were presented to pupils and students to help meet some of their basic academic needs as they continue their studies.

Speaking to the beneficiaries, Professor Okey Onuchuku encouraged the students to develop a strong reading culture, stressing that regular reading is important for academic growth and personal development.
The Vice-Chancellor of Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, represented by Chief Emmanuel Okogbule, said the foundation’s next Back-to-School Programme would be expanded to reach more students.
He appealed to students who were not included in the latest distribution to remain patient, assuring them that there would be opportunities to benefit from future editions of the programme.
The foundation said the outreach forms part of its broader commitment to encouraging Western education and improving learning opportunities for young people across the kingdom.
The statement was signed by Dr Bright K. Aborh, Coordinator, and Prince Boms Obilor, Secretary of the foundation.
