ABAKALIKI— In what is being described as one of the most comprehensive private developmental interventions in the region this year, the Eleemosy Empowerment & Relief Foundation has officially handed over a newly reconstructed primary school and vital public infrastructure to the Iziola Ndiebor Ishieke Community in Ebonyi Local Government Area.
The massive intervention, commissioned over the weekend on Sunday, May 31, 2026, marks a significant shift in rural development, demonstrating how private sector leaders are actively complementing government efforts to bridge infrastructural deficits in historically underserved communities.
The infrastructural upgrade went far beyond standard educational support. The foundation, funded and directed by tech entrepreneur and corporate executive Mr. Cornelius Oroke, constructed six brand-new classroom blocks and an administrative office at the Iziola Ndiebor Ishieke Community Nursery & Primary School. Furthermore, the project fully reconstructed three existing, dilapidated classroom blocks to modern standards.
To ensure a comprehensive learning environment, the foundation equipped the school with 100 modern classroom lockers, whiteboards, and administrative furniture. Pupils were also provided with essential educational materials, including school bags, books, and footwear, effectively removing the immediate financial barriers to early education for hundreds of rural families.
