Recall that, on the 24th of June, 2018, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, rescued Chigozie God’stime from his abusive uncle and directed his Foundation to award him full Boarding School Scholarship.
Consequently, in line with the promise of the Speaker, in September 2018 Chigozie attended the entrance examination of Jesus Hominum Salvator High School Orerokpe and was admitted into full boarding with all boarding fees paid by Sheriff Oborevwori Foundation.


However, Chigozie was denied promotion to the next class in the above school due to specific criteria, this was after several interventions by Sheriff Oborevwori Foundation, led by the Coordinator, Chief (Mrs) Esther Egite Onokpasa, a renowned Educationist. A close look at Chigozie’s academics then, shows that in JSS1, his Performance Grading Average, were 47.6%, 55.8% and 55.3% for First, Second and Third Term respectively, with good grades in most of the subjects, except mathematics where he scored 40%.


Unfortunately, the school authority asked Chigozie to repeat the class, specifically for not meeting the required 50% in Mathematics which according to the school is a prerequisite for promotion to the next class irrespective of the overall performance.
In the final analysis of the overall academic performance of Chigozie, in JSS1, he is clearly above average.
However, due to reasons considered to be in the best interest of Chigozie, Sheriff Oborevwori Foundation, decided to withdraw him from the initial school and re-enrolled him in a new school, Good Shepherd Catholic Boys’ Secondary School Oyede, Delta State.


Consequently, based on the total commitment of Sheriff Oborevwori Foundation, towards the education of the young boy and considering his background, the Chairman of Sheriff Oborevwori Foundation, Rt. Hon. (Chief) Elder Sheriff F. O. Oborevwori, approved the recommendation of the Foundation to give Chigozie a second chance by relocating him to a new school, Good Shepherd Catholic Boys’ Secondary School, Oyede which is also a full boarding school. It is worthy of note that, Chigozie performed above Average in the entrance Examination and was admitted into JSS2.
In his present school, Chigozie, has steadily improved academically and promoted to Senior Secondary School, SS1.
It is heartwarming to note that, Chigozie is not only excelling in his academics but he is also an award winning athlete in several inter-school competitions, with numerous medals in football and other field and track events. He has won several medals; Silver 100m, in JSS2, Silver 100m SS1 and Brooze in 200m SS1.
He is a formidable member of the School’s football Team, where he is a winger with number 7 shirt and has played in Delta State Principal’s Cup. He is also part of the School’s Basketball Team. In the testimony of his Gamemaster, he said “Chigozie is a Good Sports boy”.
The Coordinator of Sheriff Oborevwori Scholarship, Chief Mrs Onokpasa, has always seized available opportunity to express profound gratitude to the Chairman of Sheriff Oborevwori Foundation (SOF), Rt Hon Sheriff F. O. Oborevwori, for his kind gesture towards Chigozie and other beneficiaries of SOF Scholarship awards over the years.
Few weeks ago, Chigozie, resumed Third Term in SS1.

Secretary, Sheriff Oborevwori Scholarship/Bursary Committee.
