Holiday seems to be a period when most students indulge in unwholesome acts that can either jeopardize their future or take their lives.
It is against this backdrop that the member representing Awka South Constituency Two in the Anambra State House of Assembly, Chief Chukwuma Okoye organized a one month free holiday lesson for pupils and students in his constituency.
The beneficiaries were drawn from the seven communities that make up Awka South Constituency Two.
The summer lesson took place in eight centres within the Constituency.
They are Central School, Ndikpa in Ezinator, Community Secondary School, Amawbia, Community Primary School Amawbia, Central School Nise, Central School Nibo, Central School Isiagu, Holy Cross, Umuawulu and Central School, Mbaukwu.
Speaking on the essence of the programme, the benefactor Chief Okoye explained that it was designed to promote knowledge and prepare the beneficiaries ahead of the subjects they will study in the next classes.
According to him, in the end, examinations will be conducted for them and those who took first to fifth positions will be awarded scholarships.
Expressing their gratitude to the lawmaker, a student of Community Secondary School Amawbia, Miss Victoria Adu -Gyamfi thanked Chief Okoye for preparing them for the task ahead, assuring that they will not disappoint him.
On his part, the President General, Mbaukwu Development Union, Chief Ozoemena Onyiliuka revealed that Chief Okoye is the first Lawmaker that has organized free holiday lesson for pupils and students of Awka South Constituency Two since the inception of the constituency.
The programme also offered an opportunity for the lawmaker to note factors hindering effective teaching and learning in primary and secondary schools in his constituency.
