EDUCATION IS LIGHT: ACKNOWLEDGING HON. YAJI NOAH'S SCHOLARSHIP SUPPORT TO NKST SECONDARY SCHOOL KORINYA

By Gusha Philip

A quote says, “Gold and silver are good, but they are not the pride; the pride is education, for education is light and life itself.”

I strongly agree with this because education is indeed light, hope and life. He who gives someone education has given that person a better future and the knowledge to create value beyond what money alone can provide.

It is against this background that I wish to publicly acknowledge and appreciate Hon. Yaji Noah, Chairman of Hope Brisk for Youth Initiative, for his scholarship support to numerous students of NKST Secondary School, Korinya.

Although the scholarship intervention took place in the past, I recently discovered it and felt compelled to bring it to public attention for proper acknowledgement. As a certified teacher and a lover of people who demonstrate goodwill, I believe acts of genuine kindness deserve to be recognized, especially when they positively affect the lives of young people.

Hon. Yaji Noah has demonstrated that philanthropy is not limited to those who hold political offices. Without holding a political position, he has continued to support vulnerable people and contribute to the wellbeing and development of young people.

Supporting a student's education is an investment in a life. A scholarship can keep a child in school when financial difficulties threaten to end their education, reduce the burden on parents and open the door to a brighter future.

This is not the first time Hon. Yaji Noah has demonstrated concern for his community. Two years ago, he also made a remarkable intervention through his support towards the renovation of the River Ugbabena Bridge, showing that his commitment extends beyond education.

Gold and silver may be spent, but the knowledge gained through education remains a lasting asset. The life of one educated and empowered young person can positively influence a family and, ultimately, an entire community.

Therefore, Hon. Yaji Noah, your scholarship support to the students of NKST Secondary School, Korinya, is worthy of recognition and appreciation. You have shown that one does not need a political position to make a meaningful difference in society.

May God continue to bless you, strengthen you and replenish every resource you have used to put smiles on the faces of others.

Hon. Yaji Noah, thank you for being a giver of light, hope and life through education.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT TO HON. YAJI NOAH, THE COORDINATOR OF HOPE BRISK, FOR SUPPORTING THE RENOVATION OF RIVER UGBABENA, MBAYEGH, GAAV, KONSHISHA

By Gusha Philip

This bridge is located along the NKST Kena–Mbaashia Road, right in my village of birth. As a public writer and lover of progress, upon recently discovering the selfless gesture of Hon. Yaji Noah, Chairman and Founder of Hope Brisk for Youth Initiative (HBYI), I would be doing a disservice to my community if I kept mute about it.

Hon. Yaji Noah, through his NGO, Hope Brisk for Youth Initiative (HBYI), has demonstrated that meaningful community development is his responsibility, supporting projects that directly impact the lives of ordinary people.

His support for the renovation of River Ugbabena Bridge, also known as NKST Kena Bridge, in Mbayegh, Gaav, Konshisha LGA, two years ago, is a worthy example. Without his efforts, alongside those of a few others in the community and the Central Church of NKST Kena, where the pastor resides, this bridge would not have been accessible. It is also important to acknowledge that he has contributed significantly to other community development projects.

This write-up may take Hon. Yaji Noah by surprise or catch him unaware, but I believe he will accept it in good faith, as we public writers do not always believe in contacting people of goodwill before bringing their good deeds to the attention of the public.

As someone from this community, I am proud to highlight this selfless gesture. Hon. Yaji Noah deserves our appreciation and encouragement for his commitment to community development. I pray that Almighty God will elevate him to greater heights one day, to enable him to do even more for us.

A good deed deserves to be acknowledged, appreciated, and encouraged.
