OMADAC Donates Desks and Chairs Worth About N500,000 to OSS

BoT Chairman Ododo School to school Campaign, Engr. Aliyu Omeiza Muhammad, (CEO: OMADAC Engineering Ltd), said that the disturbing pictures posted on social media, where students sat on bare floors to receive lessons, informed his decision to donate over 100 dual-seater desks each to his former school, Okene Secondary School Upogo where he graduated as far back as 1988.

OMADAC, an indigene of Okehi local government who made the donation through his political group, Ododo school to school campaign, said that the move is aimed at tackling poor sitting infrastructures in the affected school.

According to Engr. Chatta Ubaid, the Director General of OSSC, during the presentation of the desks at the Okene Secondary School Upogo Okene, on Monday 13th, said OMADAC gesture was in a bid to improve the condition of learning for students in the affected school.

He decried the poor state of learning facilities in the school and pledged to intervene subsequently through collaboration with well-meaning individuals and organisations.

Engr. Aliyu Omeiza Muhammad (OMADAC) said the “gesture is not an eye service but in a bid to improve the condition of learning for students in the school. Am happy that the school is revived after a year of closured.”

Receiving the desks, the Principal of the School, Comrade Umar Adabara Abduljelil applauded Engr. Aliyu Omeiza Muhammad  for his effort and passion to come to the aid of the students, it was the second time an old students donated such items to the school but his own is marvelous.

According to him, it was a worrisome situation since he was posted to the school on September 25, 2023, adding that all the blocks were vandalised by an insiders, no single desk and chair while students in some classes sat on the floor. I have to approach the Head of a sister school (LGEA Primary School Upogo) for provision of desks and chairs for use. 

“It was two weeks ago that I saw a young man coming to this school to make an enquiry about the fate of this school, that they saw on social media. He is not staying here with us. All the way from oversea, Omadac sent money for the desks to be constructed for us.”

Meanwhile, he said Management would ensure the proper maintenance of the donated desks and asked the Education Task Force leadership to support the school  in keeping tabs on students who might want to handle school property with careless abandon.
