The Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has inaugurated a 250-bed capacity female hostel in Community High School, Akwaeze, Anaocha Local Government Area (LGA).

The project was bankrolled and donated to the school by Chief Ikenna Okafor, Founder of Nzekwuabuo Foundation, a Non Governmental Organization (NGO).

The governor during the inauguration also laid the foundation stone of the male hostel, and inspected the equipped science laboratories, an e-library, a multi-purpose hall, an ICT hub and a 60 KVA diesel-powered generator also donated by the foundation to the school.

He commended Chief Okafor for the initiatives, describing him as a great son of the soil, who is not just a blessing to the people of Akwaeze town but to the entire Anambra State.

``We have come to celebrate you while you are still alive because you are living a life with purpose," he said.

The governor spoke on school adoption by well-meaning Ndi Anambra, stressing that the initiative would contribute greatly in strengthening the education sector of the state.

Earlier, during the breaking of kolanut, the Traditional Ruler of Akwaeze Town, Igwe Christopher Okpala, thanked God for the gift from Chief Okafor, calling on other citizens to emulate such initiative.

The Igwe called on Ndi Anambra to continue their support for the present administration in the state by promptly paying their taxes and other designated rates regularly. 

The Transition Committee Chairman, Anaocha LGA,  Mr Ikechukwu Ozoh while taking delivery of a security vehicle donated to the local government by the foundation lauded the developmental contributions of Chief Okafor through his foundation. (MOI).
