The first price for the overall best school is N1m, the second price runner up is N500,000 and the third price is N250,000. Local government winners are also entitled to have financial packages.
According to Uche, “the philanthropist gesture is a strategic action to support Abia state government in promoting education and motivating pupils within the state towards sustained interest in learning. The aim is also to enhance human development on the long run”.
“This pursuit is predicated on Raymond Nkemdirim Foundation’s mission summed in strategic Community-Oriented Actions for Good Governance and Sustainable Development.” Uche added.
In the press release, the foundation also holds the view that education is the bedrock of development in which strategic community-Oriented Actions can be directed to empower the people at the developmental stages of their lives to build strong citizenship and leadership qualities in youths that will eventually translate into good governance and sustainable development for the state and her people.
Uche also revealed that there are other packages that the foundation will unfold. He also said that other categories will be included in the Foundation’s package, such as sports and other activities lined up for those with physical challenges in the society.
