He wrote:
"I went to my primary school ... I told the principal I want to help two students with school fees.
"They brought two students - Timi and Fridause. According to the Principal, Fridause has been out of school for 4weeks due to school fees. She started coming the same week I came . Timi had challenges with school fees due to his father’s decease."
