The Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission has stepped up its grassroots education effort by expanding its “School Is Not Scam” campaign to Warri North. The campaign sends messages to kids about education, discipline, and social responsibility.
The outreach event, which took place at Iwere College in Koko, is part of the commission’s monthly program to educate people and fight the rising idea among young people that formal education is no longer useful.
School officials praised DESOPADEC’s leadership for what they called a prompt involvement during the incident. They stressed that education is still very important for personal growth and the progress of society.
The commission’s officials utilized the platform to tell children to stop thinking that “school is a scam” and to stress that education is the key to opportunity and long-term success. They also stressed how important it is to make smart decisions about your life and stay focused on your studies.
The campaign was about more than just promoting education; it also talked about important societal problems that young people face, like drug misuse and cultism. Resource people told kids about the perils of bad peer pressure and the long-term effects of doing bad things.
One of the best parts of the program was a debate between students from different schools. They fought against the idea that education is a fraud and for its significance in developing a nation and helping people grow.
The project fits with the development goals of Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori. DESOPADEC has also said it will continue to work with young people in oil-producing regions and fight societal problems through education and awareness campaigns.
