The Foundation disclosed this in a letter signed by its Chairman, Ekpenyong Essien Ita.
The Trust Fund was set up in 2014 by the late Barrister Temitope Ekpenyong Ita in memory of her father who was a strong advocate of access to education for every child, especially the girl child.
The Foundation observed that “children are deprived and are unable to make informed choices about life, the Trust Fund is determined to bridge the ever-widening gap between the ‘haves and the have-nots’ in the education sector in Cross River South Senatorial District.
