NAN also reports that the group, drawn from across the globe, converged on Benin, the Edo capital, for its three-day convention to brainstorm and proffer solutions to several societal issues.
National President of the group, Ese Kpakor, while inaugurating the project, said that renovation of the school and provision of chairs was part of the movement’s responsibility to the society.
“We are here to celebrate our national convention, and as part of our contributions to the society, we have changed the roof of the school and provided chairs, tables, and books for the children.
“We are also going to provide toilets for them.
“We are celebrating our 43rd annual convention, and whenever we do that, we look for a project that will have an impact on the common man, because NBA is a humanitarian organization.
“The classrooms were in a bad state when we came here, and because we know that we can’t leave everything in the hands of the government, we decided to do the little we could,” Kpakor said.
Speaking at the occasion, the Head Teacher of the school, Florence Ogbeide, expressed appreciation to the group for the project.
“I must appreciate you for the way you have provided for these children. The community is also happy. You have come to rescue us and we thank you immensely,” she said.
The Odiwonwere (Head) of the community, Felix Agbonoba, thanked the group for the project and prayed to God to reward its gesture.
NAN reports that the group also paid a visit to the Oba of Benin, Ewuare II, in his palace.
At the palace, Kpakor said that the group was at the palace to intimate the royal father of its convention, adding that the movement, as a humanitarian organization, was concerned with the challenges facing the society.
Responding, the Oba hailed the group for its efforts at protecting African culture and faith.
He also appreciated the group for rehabilitating the school and urged it to raise the bar of protecting the normative system and cultural values of the Benin kingdom.
The royal father granted the request by the group to send delegates to its convention, holding in Amagba.
