The Chinedu Ogha Foundation, centred on humanitarian services and philanthropic gestures, has once again admitted 172 indigent students into the Blessed Martins International College (BMIC) for a six-year academic journey.
The Chinedu Ogha Foundation, established by the Hon. Member representing Ezza/Ikwo Federal Constituency at the Green Chambers of the National Assembly, who doubles as the Chairman of the House Committee on All Reformatory Institutions across the country, has been involved in humanitarian services since 1997.
Speaking at the event, Ogah, who was visibly satisfied with the level of accomplishments, applauded the foundation for its efforts towards giving hope to the hopeless in the society and building a state where poverty and insecurity would be reduced.
"We want to give them hope; we are preparing them for tomorrow's leadership. As we are privileged to be educated, we should extend that to the less privileged.
"As a parliamentarian, it's my core duty to be able to provide these children with quality education to reduce insecurity and poverty." He said.
Ogah, who encouraged them to focus on attaining sound education, which the Blessed Martins International College provides, emphasised that it would definitely make them focused and be useful to the society.
"We are complimenting the effort of our dear governor, the good leadership of Mr President and all the good things our leaders have done. We started this foundation in the year 1997, and since that year we have been training people on scholarship." He added
Our correspondent learnt that this phase is the seventh; hence, the 172 students admitted are part of the scheduled 200 beneficiaries for the year 2025. In his usual way, Ogah admonished the students to be disciplined and make their parents proud.
"They should behave themselves and read their books and reflect on what they are learning, which should be extended to their families."
While interacting with journalists, Donatus Inlang (PhD), the state commissioner for education, applauded the Chinedu Ogah Foundation for sustaining its humanitarian services over the years and noted the initiative is in line with Governor Nwifuru's people's charter of needs agenda on education.
"We have seen what is here, and they are all in line with the Ebonyi State people's charter of need toward education.
"The infrastructural level of what is here in this school is international; equipping the hostels, which we have all seen, is also of international level, and the courses they offer here tell you that they are here to ensure that effective and quality education is achieved to its optimum level." Ilang said.
Meanwhile, Mrs Mary Chinedu Ogah, who's the proprietress of Blessed Martins International College, commended Ogah's commitments over the years to sustaining his philanthropic gestures and applauded him for extending it beyond his constituency.
"This is what he does every year; we have them set by set, batch by batch. He usually does it only for his." We have seen what is here, and they are all in line with the Ebonyi state people's charter of need toward education.
"The infrastructural level of what is here in this school is international; equipping the hostels, which we have all seen, is also of international level, and the courses we offer here tell you that they are here to ensure that effective and quality education is achieved to its optimum level, but this year he decided to go further and give slots to people outside," she added.
Recall that the Chinedu Ogha Foundation has been engaged in humanitarian works in Ebonyi State since 1997, before he became a House of Representatives member representing the Ezza/Ikwo Federal Constituency at the National Assembly for the first time in 2019. Ever since, he has been committed to serving humanity.
