Ex-Zenith bank MD, billionaire business man Jim Ovia has set
up a massive school in his hometown of Agbor in Delta State. The school is called James Hope College (JHC) and has a Briton as the principal. Mr Ovia built the school, which is supported by a substantial endowment fund, in his hometown to make education affordable to his people. The academic session for the first set of students will start in September 2013.
This is to hoping it would be affordable to indigenes of agbor.

ReplyDeleteSALUTE ! HATS OFF TO ME OVIA. WE NEED MORE EXEMPLARY LEADERS NOT ONLY IN NDELTA BUT NIGERIA AS A WHOLE TO TAKE US TO THE NEXT LEVEL !
ReplyDeleteweldone sir!
ReplyDeleteIf he decides to run for political office he will win in a clean and fair election coa he has blessed his people tremendously. He single handed supplied portable water to his town,built a computer training schl for free education,now a college which am sure will be affordable for even a farmers child,this is to mention a few,I didn't mention d numerous scholarships or jobs given to people with good grades from Ika. Am not an indigene but I grew up there seeing his good works. Let the so called rich men emulate him and nigeria will be a better place for d poor.
ReplyDeleteHe not aspiring for any governourship,he is a gud man wit a gud heart and always like to help d poor ones like us,May d Almighty God Jehovah continue to bless him.I wish oda rich men can emulate him.
ReplyDeleteUmmm....JHC was part of the design team. The schl is a massive one with modern facilities.
ReplyDeleteNah wao! Is it too much money that is making this man look ugly like this?..Hmm.
ReplyDeleteMy ex-boss...much respect.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile all ur former EDs don waka o.
Ex Zenith staff, u be LIBer too? We still dey the system ooo
DeleteHmmm, nyc
ReplyDeleteAffordable my foot. I'm sure the tuition fee alone will be more than 100k per term, and you will call that affordable. Another business venture for the man. Carry go, na your money rake in more.
ReplyDeleteHope Elumelu is watching.
ReplyDeleteA job well done.
ReplyDeleteWell is a good thing for the rich to give to the poor out of the surplus. This was how ex MD of gtbank plc also initiated a college in abeokuta and it was also meant for the underprivileged but all of a sudden reverse is the case. Oga Jim is a good idea and initiative but I believe it will not dash the hope of the poor people. Remain blessed.
ReplyDeleteAll I can see are his lips *drolling
ReplyDeletegREAT iNITIATIVE.
ReplyDeleteThink dis is wash ,cos delta state next governor shld come from anioma people,and I think he wants to contest.lets watch out!
ReplyDeleteThis is no doubt a nice gesture from Jim. I have only one appeal to make: let Jim give the brilliant indigent students of that state scholarship in the new school.
ReplyDeleteAs long as it is free, kudos to him. but if otherwise, na wash...
ReplyDeleteNice work! But why is he looking like that magician in sesame street?
ReplyDeleteIts a nice development,d best gift u can give to ur people is education.i know dat d price will be affordable.For those criticising and saying whether it will be affordable or free,let me tell u dia is no free lunch even in a free land.We should be thinking on d ways to improve and develop our society in our different capercity.Therefore lets appreciat good things so dat it can equally come to us.ONE LOVE MY PEOPLE
ReplyDeleteWhich is British Curriculum again? We DEY train DEY go work for Britain, i beg make we look inward moor, these people no even send Nigerian curriculum. grt initiative. Hope security DEY for the Britico?
ReplyDeleteThat's great! Welldone. Talking of school, am currently in d UK and I would like to send my kids to school in Nigeria for their college/secondary education. Please which school is good enough, federal colleges or private schools ? I heard priv schl is so expensive in 9ja esp Lag n Abj. Please I need some advice from fellow LIBers. Rosy
ReplyDeleteIf I hear, It can't be affordable,y briton as d princpal,na wa fo nigerians ooo#low sef esteem dey wori dis man#
ReplyDeletegud one jim, pls estblish an industry as well so they can get job immediately they leave school. God bless u.
ReplyDeleteGood, but why John Hope College? Why not Jim Ovia College? Who is John Hope? Is that his father's name? We continue to "worship" these white men because of what?
ReplyDeletePlease tell ur gmd emefiele to stop employing graduates as contract staff, and be paying them 69,999. Per month when there mates are earning times three in d same industry. No medicals!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat achievement,giving back to your community and society at large.This is to prove to your people that you are able to be where you are today because you are educated. But make sure you the school is free like Rochas foundation in IMO STATE.
