Mr Okere disclosed this to newsmen at Akwete, headquarters of Ukwa East Local Government Area of Abia state, after presenting a vehicle and 16 motor bikes to the local government chairman and ward chairmen of the Progressive Peoples’ Alliance (PPA) in the council.

He explained that the scheme, which commenced last year cuts across all indigent students of the council, notwithstanding their political inclination.

According to him, the scheme which will run until the expiration of his present tenure in the state House of Assembly was part of the campaign promises he made to the people, to assist parents in his constituency as well as uplifting the development of education in the state.
