Governor of Enugu State, Dr. Peter Mbah, yesterday received in his office Master Israel Echezona, a 17-year-old indigene who emerged as the overall best candidate in the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology, Zaria, entrance examination and also awarded him a full scholarship to train as a pilot.
While congratulating Master Echezona, Mbah said the gesture was in line with his administration’s drive to equip the children and youths of the state with the requisite education and skills to excel in life, urging him to continue on the path of excellence to justify the investment and confidence vested in him by the state.
“I congratulate you on your admission. You have made us proud and this is exactly what we want for the youths of our state. We will give you full support going forward. So, the ball is now in your court. Go and make us proud,” Mbah stated. “Look up to God, pray and work hard. Nigeria is our country. Meet your government. The other governors, who are like Governor Peter Mbah, might help you in sponsorship of your education,” he stated.
“I am filled with joy. When the admission came out, I saw the money, and I said I could not continue because it is not what I can attain. But I was encouraged that this is a rare admission; that the government could be interested in it. We wrote to our councillor, who took it up. Within one week, we are here and have met and talked with the governor.
