This will serve as a relief to them and their parents. Said he expected the children to perform very well, to whom much is given, much is expected; The children will feel they have overcome some of their academic issues by utilizing the educational incentive materials given to them judiciously in other not to over-labor their presents of buying bags, books, and writing materials again.

This will go a long way in helping the indigent children in Ikorodu, and not only the indigent children of Ikorodu. The pupils are cut across the country, from different States but reside to live in Ikorodu, and the AKD USA has extended its fellowship to all of them, so it is a good thing, and they expect more from others like them. This is like a lifelong print in their memories because when they grow up too they will remember that some people helped them during primary school leaving to make it in life, therefore, this is an encouragement for them to study more to do the same way the AKD USA organization has done. Says, The Association of Headteachers, Chairman.
