Speaking on behalf of the beneficiaries, the Bishop of Warri Catholic Diocese, Bishop Anthony Ewherido, represented by Rev. Fr. Christopher Ekabo, thanked the state government for the financial assistance to the missions schools and prayed God to grant the governor and his team their ambitions and wisdom to enable them finish strong.
