The free petrol scheme by the Innocent Udoidiong Foundation came at a time when we were struggling to keep our businesses running during the fuel scarcity. With the support I received, I was able to continue my work, earn a living, and provide for my family. This initiative was a lifeline for many of us, and I can’t thank the foundation enough.
The new dual desks donated by the Innocent Udoidiong Foundation have transformed our classrooms. Students now have comfortable seating and can focus better on their studies. This generosity has brought hope to our school and shown us that education truly matters. We are deeply grateful for this impactful gesture.
