He said old and torn school uniforms could dull the morale of pupils and lower their self-esteem and academic performance.
He further said the donation was to show appreciation to his boss the governor for continuing the free and compulsory education policy of the state.
“I am doing this in appreciation of my boss, the governor, His Excellency, Mr Udom Emmanuel who has kept the promise of continuing the free and education policy,” he said.
He also thanked the governor for approving the fencing and construction of a modern toilet facility in the school.
Meanwhile, Governor Emmanuel has stated that the fight to curb insecurity and violent crimes in the country can be won if parents give their children quality time.
The governor who emphasized on the role of good parenting as the panacea of an orderly society stated this during an event recently in the state.
His words: “The only problem we are having in our society is poor parenting, if parents can spend time with their children the way our parents spent time with us, we will not have the kind of society we are having today. There are so many absentee parents in the name of civilization.”
