Wike Sets Up Education Trust Fund for Children of Soldier Slain by Boko Haram
Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has established an Educational Trust Fund for the four children of Rivers-Born, late Colonel Ken Elemele, who fell in a Boko Haram ambush between Yobe and Borno last Wednesday.
The Governor said that the Education Trust Fund will take off with initial seed money of N30million describing the death of late Colonel Elemele as a sad loss to Rivers State and the entire country.
Speaking during a condolence visit to the family on Saturday in Port Harcourt, the Governor who was represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Dr. Tammy Danagogo said that the Rivers State Government will stand with the family.
He said: “This is a sad loss of an illustrious son of Rivers State. We were expecting the emergence of another General before this unfortunate incident.
“Please accept my personal condolence and that of the good people of Rivers State. The Rivers State Government shares this grief with the family. We will stand with you through this period.”
The Governor prayed God to console the widow and her children, saying that only God can fill the gap created by the sudden death of late Ken Elemele.
“We urge you to put your trust in God. Be strong for your children. God will always support you at this time,” he said.
He said the Rivers State Government will be in touch with the family to ensure that their immediate needs are taken care of.
