*** RESUMES BOARDING SCHOOL

Chigozie Godstime, the 12 years old boy, who was abused by his uncle, Mr Ifeanyi Akpa on the 24th of June this year, has started school yesterday, 3rd of September, 2018.
He participated and passed the entrance examination into JSS 1 in Jesus Hominum Salvator High School Orerokpe, a school with boarding facilities, on the full Scholarship of Sheriff Oborevwori Foundation, as promised by the Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembky, Rt. Hon Sheriff Oborevwori.
Recall that on the 24th of June this year, the pathetic story of the abuse of Chigozie by his uncle was widely reported. Mr Akpa, an indigene of Onicha Igbeze, Onicha Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, who resides at Osubi, was caught by Osubi community and handed over to the police for the corporal punishment and abuse of Chigozie his little nephew, who was living with him at the time. He was arrested and later released on bail.
But fate smiled on the poor boy when Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, who was on his way from church service, met the situation on ground and immediately directed that Chigozie should be taken to the hospital for proper medical examination and treatment from the injuries inflicted on him.
The Speaker, also instructed Sheriff Oborevwori Foundation Scholarship/Bursary committee Coordinator, Chief (Mrs) E. E. Onokpasa, to award scholarship to Chigozie to University level. He added that the scholarship will run till the end of his university studies.
Rt. Hon Oborevwori also promised to take full responsibility for Chigozie’s welfare because of his family background. As a man with undiluted passion for his people, he extended his benevolence to Mr Akpa, by given him some financial assistance to expand his business.
The Speaker, accompanied by the scholarship committee Coordinator, Chief Mrs E. E. Onokpasa, visited Chigozie at the hospital on the 25th of June to evaluate the level of improvement of the boy and the need to give him waiver since his case is peculiar. Also, the speaker ensured that a message was sent to Chigozie’s mother Mrs Godstime, to come from Lagos.
The boy was discharged from the clinic after some days with all bills paid by Sheriff Oborevwori Foundation.
When discharged from the hospital, it was decided that Chigozie can no longer live with Mr Akpa, the child molester, so the mother took him along to Lagos while modalities were put in place for Chigozie to secure admission into JESUS HOMINUM SALVATOR HIGH SCHOOL Orerokpe.
On the 29th of August, 2018, Chigozie participated in the entrance examination into Jesus Hominum Salvator High School. He passed the entrance examination and was admitted into(JSS 1).
As a man who keeps promises, Rt Hon Oborevwori has given approval for the takeoff of the scholarship awarded to Chigozie, with all the Boarding Fees fully paid by Sheriff Oborevwori Foundation.
The scholarship committee, led by the Coordinator, Chief Mrs E. E. Onokpasa was also on ground to give the necessary support to Chigozie on his first day in school.
In a brief statement, she eulogised and prayed for God to continue to reward Rt Hon. Oborevwori for bringing succour to the downtrodden in the society. She also advised Chigozie to take his studies seriously so that he can come out successfully to justify the rare privilege bestowed on him by Sheriff Oborevwori Foundation and also make his parents proud.
The Foundation has promised to continue to follow-up the academic performance of Chigozie.
