According to the governorship hopeful, “it would interest my government that education drives every sector of our lives, for it’s through learning that we can mould the character of our children.”

In appreciation remark, the Principal of the School, Sr. Jane Samuel Okoro, thanked Senator Kalu for keeping to his promises, as the sewing machines he previously provided to the school have enabled the students to acquire a variety of skills.
