The former Director General of the Department of State Security (DSS), Mr. Ekpenyong Ita has donated N500,000 to a student in need of tuition.
Mr. Ita gave the cash donation shortly after Miss Glory Ita made a public outcry about a hike in fees she needed for law school.
Her plea made on FaceBook:
“Please, this is my appeal to my fellow citizens. I have graduated from the University of Calabar under the faculty of law since 2021. My visually challenged father and my mum who is a petty trader have tried to see me through this far.
“My name has been out for law school since 2021 but I have no money, so I decided to go for NYSc first and I’ve completed it since October 2023.
“I have reapplied for law school again but the money has been increased from two hundred and ninety-six thousand naira to four hundred and seventy thousand naira excluding feeding and other logistics.
“I have no godfather but you fellow Nigerians are my godfather. Please I need your financial support, no matter how small it is.
“In this post are some of my credentials. My account number is 0681206316 ITA, GLORY ASUQUO, GT Bank, 08147857515, God bless you as you help a sister”.
Mr. Darlingon Edem, Deputy Chief Press Secretary to the State Governor, Sen. Bassey Otu requested her contact shortly after her plea was shared by Awade Friday, media aid to the member representing the Obudu/Obanliku/Bekwarra federal constituency, Hon. Peter Akpanke.
Minutes later, Miss Glory confirmed that she had received N500,000 support from the retired DSS DG.
Mr. Darlington in his affirmation revealed that Mr. Ita also promised to sponsor her air ticket to Abuja for her law school, whenever she is ready to travel.
