The REALDEAL Natasha H Akpoti alongside the Akpoti Foundation Donates School Uniforms To 600 Pupils

Within the human race, philanthropism doesn't get old. Previous governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the Kogi State 2019 concluded general election, Barr. Natasha Hadiza Akpoti, warmly donates school uniforms to 600 cheered pupils across primary schools in Ihima and Okehi local government areas of Kogi State through the Natasha Akpoti Foundation.
Natasha Akpoti, who was represented by her Personal Assistant, Hamza Lamisi, during the distribution ceremony, stated that the gesture was inspired by the sad situation of the pupils she had seen during some of her outreaches in the areas.
“Aside from caring for and being passionate about these children for the past five years, today’s gesture was inspired by what my boss had witnessed during some of our outreach programs where you see some of these kids in mufti and others with tattered uniform.
“She made it a priority to change that narrative and today, in celebration of 2021 International Women’s Day, she donated school uniform to the children"
In the air was happiness and excitements, the school pupils expressed towards their redefined new appearance fueld by the outreach.
In addition to note, the generosity was made possible and accomplished by a team of 12 tailors who were on ground to take measurements and sew for the children right on spot. Said Hamza Lamisi PA to the real deal.
Still on the scene, headmasters of the cluster schools in person of Mr Baiye Ohino, in his words stated that the gesture was not just a relief to the parents but to the teachers as well as it was previously discouraging for us the teachers when we see these children in mufti.
Mr Bailey Ohino further stated "Until the intervention of Barr. Natasha, only a few parents can afford the stipend they pay as tuition fees. Then how do we disturb them for school uniforms? Even when we tried to use force, some parents just withdrew their children and we had to go reason with them so they could return the school pupils back to classes".
In Mr Bailey last words, he said, “We are really thankful for everything she(Natasha Akpoti) has been doing and we pray that we have more of her kind in the society"
Kind regards,
