In his speech, the former speaker, Rt. Hon. Momohjimoh Lawal who was the chairman of the fund raising ceremony, disclosed his earlier donation of set of computers to the centre, as well as a donation of 2 blocks of six classrooms to Lennon Memorial College Ageva-Okengwe.
While also announcing the donation of N250,000 by Kogi State House of Assembly in support of the project, he appealed to other well meaning members of the community to contribute to the project.
Earlier in his address, the president of Abuga Youths Forum, Comrade Abdulraheem Yusuf Jatto disclosed that the program was geared towards raising the literacy level of youths of the area in-order to make them self employed and employers of labour.
