FRATELO GROUP INAUGURATES FOUNDATION IN FEDERAL POLYTECHNIC NEKEDE
The Fratelo Group of Companies has inaugurated an educational foundation in Federal Polytechnic Nekede. The foundation is aimed at catering for the tuition fees of indigent students as well as exceptional students in the institution. The launch of the foundation, named Best Link Foundation, comes as a major breakthrough of the Engr. Dr. M C. Arimanwa administration in the area of interventions and linkages.
Speaking at the launch of the foundation last Tuesday at the main auditorium of the institution, the Founder and President of the Fratelo Group, Evang. Bethran Uzodinma, thanked the Rector for the efficient way he is running the polytechnic which has made individuals like him to identify with the institution.
In his words, “The first time I came to the Federal Polytechnic Nekede, I observed from the Rector’s speech that he is trying in touching the lives of students. So I decided to support the institution with the sum of Five Hundred Thousand Naira (N500,000.00) with which to take care of the fees of the indigent among the students.”
While inaugurating the Foundation, Evang. Uzodinma promised to commit an initial sum of half a million naira (N500,000.00) to it while promising to periodically fund it. The preacher cum philanthropist also disclosed that he believes so much in changing the lives of people, as according to him, “That is the way to show that one loves God.”
Evang. Uzodinma equally highlighted his view about life: “I might not have all, but the little I have, God has touched me to bless humanity with it.”
He also promised to mobilize his friends to support the foundation. Meanwhile, the philanthropist has pledged to train ten students in the newly established HSE Training Centre at the polytechnic.
The centre is envisioned to train and certify Health, Safety and Environment professionals. It is coordinated by Dr. A.C. Madu of the Directorate of Innovations and Linkages, Federal Polytechnic Nekede.
