He has however pledge not to allow simple things such as a Pen and a Book derail the academic journey of some students, his project.
Reaching out to Kobby for a word he said “It would surprise you when you travel to deprived areas and you find out the reason why many people are out of school is that, they don’t have books to write in. We have a responsibility as citizens of this Nation to ensure that the future leaders are properly taken care of that is why I want to embark on this project. It doesn’t seem to be a very big project but it is going to serve a huge cause. We can’t leave everything for Government, if we have the means, let’s embark.”
