The lawmaker representing Abia North Senatorial District, Senator Orji Kalu, has commenced the distribution of free school uniforms to pupils across the district.
The initiative follows earlier provisions of classrooms, textbooks and school desks.
The distribution covers over 300 primary schools across the five local government areas of Umunneochi, Arochukwu, Isuikwuato, Ohafia and Bende.
The exercise was flagged off on Tuesday in Leru, Umunneochi Local Government Area, on behalf of the senator by his Senior Legislative Aide, Victor Ettie.
Ettie noted that while many political actors engage in rhetoric, Kalu has remained focused on tangible service delivery, particularly in the education sector.
In Umunneochi LGA, pupils and teachers of Leru Central School, Umuchieze, were among the first beneficiaries.
They thanked the senator for what they described as sustained and impactful educational investments, including school renovations, distribution of desks, supply of learning materials and the provision of free uniforms.
