HAPPY NEW MONTH, EDUAFRIK FAMILY!

Welcome to the month of July!

With a heart full of gratitude to God, I am delighted to inform you that I have officially resumed my duties after my temporary leave.
Recall that on June 1, I officially took a short break that ended yesterday, June 30, to attend to some of my family issues.

I sincerely appreciate everyone who stood by me during the burial of my elder brother through your prayers, messages, financial support, calls, and words of encouragement. Your love and kindness gave my family and me strength during one of the most difficult periods of our lives. May God richly reward and remember each of you.

My heartfelt appreciation also goes to our Board Secretary, Igbokwe, and the entire leadership team for ensuring the smooth running of the organization in my absence. Your commitment and selfless service are deeply appreciated.

I am excited to announce that my first official public appearance after my return will be on Saturday, July 4, as we officially kick off our 2026 Skills Acquisition Program, which will run from July through September. I look forward to an impactful and successful program that will empower more African youths with valuable knowledge and skills.

As we begin this new month, I pray that July will bring you divine favour, open doors, good health, wisdom, breakthroughs, and abundant blessings. May God crown your efforts with success and grant you every reason to rejoice.

Thank you for being part of the EduAfrik family. Together, we will continue transforming lives through education.

Happy New Month, and God bless you all!
