Students and pupils of Community Secondary School, Abalamabie; Community Primary School, Abalamabie; and Government Industrial Technical Unit, Bonny; as well as Central School, Bonny in Rivers State have benefited from the ongoing distribution of 100,000 copies of free exercise books donated by Evomec Global Services Limited (EGSL).
The beneficiaries were full of prayers and eulogies for the Bonny Local Government Chairman, Dame Anengi Barasua, over her effort at securing the buy-in of corporate organisations on the Island to support the needs of her people.
The Bonny Local Government Director of Education, Tina Owei Fiabema Hailsham, as well as the Government Liaison Officer to EGSL, Emmanuel Wilcox, were on hand to convey the warm regards of the chairman to the visibly excited beneficiaries.
In another development, the Chairman of Bonny Local Government Council, Dame Anengi Barasua has said that the vision of relocating traders from Creek Road Market and other petty trading points to the Bonny new market at King Asimini Bypass Road was still on course.
She asserted that traders that were to be relocated would be given priority in the allocation before others, adding that shanties that were housing traders around the Creek Road Market as well as Coal Beach, would be demolished after the relocation process to give the town a facelift.
Barasua, who gave this assurance during a meeting with the executive members of the Creek Road Market Union, Bonny, explained that a committee that was set up to ascertain the true position of things concerning the new market allocation process was already at the verge of submitting its report, promising that subletting and racketeering would not be allowed in any way.
In her submission, the leader of the Creek Road Market Union, Madam Eka Prosper said they were pleased with the development efforts of the chairman, which led to the refurbishment of the access road and security of their goods while being transported on the waterways.
She, however, requested that the allotment of the spaces at the new market be done transparently and also made affordable.
