CleverMinds Foundation, a Non-Governmental-Organization, has  built the first free private primary school for orphans and out-of-school children, in a Iyara, a slum community in Delta State.

According to a statement by the Executive Director of the foundation, Zion Oshiobugie, he said, the official unveiling held in the school premises  recently

He  said the foundation was able to meet up with its deadline of completing the building within the space of four months, that is,  May-August despite all odds, in a bid to meet up school resumption this September.

He added:”I am delighted the foundation made history today with this project. We  cannot forget the kindness of good-hearted persons who gave us the support to realize this dream.We have no doubt that this school will contribute to the reduction of the number of out-of-school children in Delta State and Nigeria at large.

He recalled how he came to Warri at the age of 16, and worked as domestic Staff for about four years and instead of being paid, his boss  insisted on sponsoring his education at the Petroleum Training Institute (PTI).

“This act of love by my boss, Engr Nnamdi onyeka 17 years ago, made me resolve to help orphans and underprivileged children harness their potentials through access to quality education.

The free private school in Iyara is the second operated by our foundation, while the first is located at Edjeba community and have been graciously granted a license to operate by the Delta State Government, through the Ministry of Basic Education.” He added.

The chairman of the community, Mr. Efe Odili, commended Cleverminds for  the donation of the free school, saying this was the first time a private organization will do something of this magnitude in the community.

He assured  of the safety of the school stating that they would do everything within their powers to ensure the school runs smoothly.

The statement says CleverMinds Private school in Iyara will admit about 250 orphans and underprivileged children when school resumes this coming session in September.
