Mr Efenji Nicholas, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Efenji Homes and Properties and former chairmanship aspirant in the recently concluded primaries of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Cross River, has extended financial support to students in Bekwarra local government area.
Despite losing out in the race to serve the good people of the local government, Efenji Nicholas’s passion for humanitarian and community service remain unwavering. Barely a week after the primary elections, he entered into partnership with the National Association of Bekwarra Students (NABES) Worldwide to roll out an Educational Support Scheme for students in the LGA.
Enabled by the financial support provided by the former chairmanship aspirant, NABES-WW led by its president, Sen. Obe Alphonsus Alokpa, set out to implement the Educational Support Scheme in primary and secondary schools across various wards in the local government area.
Speaking in an interview shortly after the exercise, Alokpa said “My just concluded project was the production of exercise books for Bekwarra students as an educational support scheme. And it was sponsored by Mr Efenji Nicholas Iyiukanne, CEO of Efenji Homes and Properties.

The student leader thanked Efenji Nicholas and commended him for demonstrating genuine love towards the people of Bekwarra. He called on other well-meaning individuals and groups to emulate his kind gesture for the progress of the LGA.
