  Chief Akpudo also disclosed that apart from scholarships, as a community leader, he mobilises  resources to pay WAEC fees, Common Entrance fees, as well as pay teachers to carryout holiday lessons for school children in the community, adding that schools in Eziowele perform exceedingly well in both internal and external examinations and sporting events too.

  Meanwhile the head teacher, Standard International Nursery and Primary School, Eziowele, Mrs. Victoria Chukwunonyelu said the school was in dire need of computers and other recreational facilities like swings, slides, merry-go-rounds and a host of others, noting that Chief Titus Nnabuike Akpudo has been very helpful to the school even though she said the school required more assistance.

  She said the scholarship programme for school children in Eziowele was a welcome development and commendable too because she believes education is the best legacy one could bequeath on the present and future generations.
