ABU Mmaduaburochukwu Foundation, a non goverenmental organisation at the front line of bringing succour to underprivileged families, taking destitute off the street and giving children the keys to a brighter future has given educational scholarship to 10 children of late police officers, who died in the line of duty.

It would be recalled that on 1st January, 2023, at the Central Police Station, Awka, during the new year celebration of police officers children, Chief Mmaduaboruchukwu Christopher Attah, the founder of the foundation, was moved by the plight of widows and revealed that the foundation will grant immediate scholarship to 10 selected children, with the possibility of taking more of the children under the foundation’s wing.

Mrs Ikemi Echeng, wife of the immediate past Commissioner of Police, Anambra State and Chairperson of Police Officers’ Wives Association, POWA, commended the foundation and in particular Chief Attah for the selfless humanitarian services, stating that the noble act from the foundation will never be forgotten by the widows and POWA.

Mrs Echeng, prayed that God would continue to uplift the foundation and its founder for beginning the new year by relieving the burden of those widows.

Chief Attah, who has once lived with deprivation while growing up as a child, revealed that, among his visions, was to help as many children from underprivileged families to get education and live their dreams.

Some children of the late Police officers who are now under the full scholarship of ABU Mmaduaboruchukwu Foundation, include; Bright Okon Edet, Ofunna Chidera, Loveth Obanovwe, Clementina Joel, Nwachukwu Praise, Aniemena Chidera, and Akaatenga Jessica. Others are; Destiny Simon, Anthony Kosisochukwu Henry and Favour Inah.
