Speaking to the children, he emphasised the need to take academic work seriously because that was the only way they can grow to become responsible citizens to show appreciation to the organisation.
Mr Jason pledged to support three outgoing pupils of the academy through Junior High School (JHS) and urged the pupils to reciprocate the support of the academy by learning hard and pray to God for sustenance.
“All you can do to appreciate your teachers and the director of the academy is to remember them in your prayers. Pray to God to help them to keep supporting you while the organisation and foundation also keep their commitment to your course.
Yasmin, also a member of the foundation, also advised the children to “Study hard, pray well and take your academics seriously. You need to make an effort so that we all achieve success in the end.”
The presentation highlighted Nelly’s ongoing philanthropic efforts to support underprivileged communities through targeted donations and outreach programmes.
