It is my pleasure to inform you that about 20, 000 Exercise Books are to be given out to our Students in Okpe Local Government Area by the Sheriff Oborevwori Foundation Scholarship /Bursary Committee in January. I will continue to do everything to encourage the education of our people.

“The Examination for the applicants was very fair and credible. Okpe indigenes did very well in the examination where qualified students were picked and I am proud of our people. I am encouraged by the situation report of the Committee. I will continue to be neutral in the activities of the Committee. I want to place it on record that I have been giving out Bursary unannounced for so many years now, but this is the first time that I am making it public and with God helping me, I will continue to support more and more students to get Education”.
