Mercy Johnson's husband, Prince Odi Okojie, has found himself at the centre of online controversy following his recent school renovation project in Uromi, Edo State.
Okojie, who represents Esan North East/South East Federal Constituency, is currently spearheading the renovation of Our Lady of Lourdes Girls Grammar School under the National Senior Secondary Education Commission (NSSEC) initiative.
The project, which has been described as “transformational” by supporters, includes the construction of an Art Science Laboratory, a fully equipped ICT building, classroom refurbishments, solar lighting installations, and a borehole system.

Sharing video clips of his inspection on Instagram, the actress' husband expressed satisfaction with the project’s progress.
He wrote:
“This is a project close to my heart. It’s not just about building structures, but restoring hope and creating better learning environments for young girls who deserve the best.”
He added that the initiative was inspired by his childhood experiences and a desire to improve educational opportunities in his hometown.
However, not everyone was impressed. While many fans and constituents applauded Okojie for his commitment to education, others accused him of using the project for political gain.
