The United Nations Economic and Social Council (UNESC) has commended former Imo State Governor Senator Rochas Okorocha for giving indigent children in Africa access to quality education through the Rochas Foundation College of Africa.
The African Chairman of UNESC, Dr Williams Azuma Ijoma made the commendation during a visit to Okorocha at his Unity House, Abuja.
Ijoma, who is an education expert, noted that Okorocha, who also is a presidential aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has put in the best part of his life to transform the bleak future of indigent children in Africa, and the impact made in national development, especially granting access to poor families to have quality education as a veritable instrument for national development, transformation, peace and equity.
The UNESC African Chairman described the Rochas Foundation College of Africa as an unimaginable dream come true for Africans.
He also added that a college that has offered scholarships to students from most parts of Africa is worthy of commendation.
The high point of the visit was when both parties decided to partner on human capacity development as every child in Africa deserves quality education for quality life to actualise their dreams of greatness.
He said: “We understand fully the positive impact that Rochas Foundation College of Africa has over the continent.”
