Respite may have come the way of indigent students in University of Lagos who have exhausted their food packages while examination approaches. A non-governmental organisation, Girl on Another Level (GOAL), recently partnered with the Students’ Affairs, University of Lagos to distribute essential commodities for them.
The aim, according to the organizers, was to provide succour for the students, and empower them as well.
Representative of the founder of GOAL, Mrs Usifor-Charity Agbonma, remarked, ” We are glad to see indigent students smiling with a sense of belonging and affection. Nobody grows or progresses alone in the journey of life,” urging the students not to be wasteful, and be determined to make a difference in life.
