Sir Dr. Emeka Offor was in Daura Kastina State to inspect the ongoing renovation and furnishing of Waziri Alhassan public library in Daura Kastina State which is 98% completed. The Governor of Kastina State, Aminu Bello Masari was also on sight to inspect the life impacting project.

The Waziri Alhassan library Daura is wearing a new look, tastefully renovated and modernized with its shelves fully stacked with qualitative, educative and informative books. Computers were also supplied and fully installed along with a standby generator and borehole. The renovation, furnishing and computerizing of the library came courtesy of Sir Emeka Offor Foundation (SEOF) as part of its educational intervention program in Africa. Sir Emeka Offor Foundation has given out books and computers worth over 22 million dollars to primary, secondary and tertiary institutions in Nigeria and 18 other African countries through its book distribution program. Other educational institutions in Kastina state had benefitted hugely from SEOF’s book distribution program in the past.

oyatz:
Many youths in Daura will make use of this modern Library and it will help their education.
Anything that can be used to reduce illitracy and increase education is welcomed by me.

He may not be a good man but he had done a good thing.

Go check WAEC and JAMB performance index for the past 15 years, even this year, you go know who bi Baba.

FocusedB1h:

What is the correlation btw academic achievement(which is very commendable btw) and highlighting that Igbos prefer to “develop” other pples land instead of theirs? other tribes can never act this way.
Being educated is one thing, having common sense is another.

kernel001:



If you've read between the doted lines, you wouldn't have written these things. You think he's running charity, right? A man who's been contracted to supply Power to Anambra state, and he's seen lobbying for continuity and you're calling it benevolence.


You need to know the difference between benevolence and Lobbying.

Smithkafors:


Because most of them are Knights!!!, although i applaud him for investing in education, however, he did it for his own selfish interest.The only tangible thing Sir E did in his hometown is a radio station, outside that nothing else.Let him replicate the same gesture in his hometown, after all dangote is building a world class hospital in Kano.

FocusedB1h:

Lobbying, benevolence or whatever the case may be. My point still stands.
Charity begins at home, take it or leave it:

lanocfoods:

Possibly a knight in his church either catholic or anglican

majamajic:


but he is giving out pre paid meters , I was in Oba and there was uninterrupted light for 3 days

unclefresh:
What is the ratio of those getting the meter to those that are not, do u know they are places that have not seen light for months, how about those that only see light only at the end of the month because that when they will come collect their bills

AreaFada2:

Most are probably Catholics. That state produces many catholic priests too.
The catholic church bestows church knighthood. Much like the Queen of England does upon recommendation of UK prime minister in modern times.

The Pope is a head of state too in addition to being head of the church.

Many Igbo billionaires have probably built churches and donated to the catholic church with other humanitarian acts. Promoting the catholic faith.

They often earn their knighthood that way.

Since in 9ja we are crazy about titles, you see these titles. In other countries people hardly use such titles daily.

RxTreasure:
Emeka Offor is an Anglican

AreaFada2:

Of course there are Anglican knights too.
But its origin is from papal orders of medieval times.
