Due to recent publications through the social media about the deplorable condition in which our students in Owan schools were being educated, Owan Association USA, Inc. sent one of its members to investigate the situation. The report she presented to the association actually confirms what was reported through the social media.

During the investigation, she discovered that some of our students sat on cement blocks and used cement blocks as a desk in their classroom. We were also told that in some schools, students brought their chairs from home.

One of the goals of Owan Association USA is to assist in providing 21^st century education for our students in Owan local government areas. For this reason, Owan Association USA donated desks and benches to several schools in Owan East and Owan West Local Government Areas.

The benches will seat approximately 8,600 students. More assistance will follow at an appropriate time for our youngsters in Owan schools.  We thank all Owan Association members that have helped in one way or another to actualize this goal.
