Senator Jarigbe Donates To Visually Handicapped Centre In Cross River

It was gathered that his attention was recently drawn to the plight of the school  following the state government’s withdrawal of subvention to the school.

The school was also recently burgled by criminals who allegedly made away with all the mattresses in the students hostel.

It was gathered that the situation was so bad that the head of the school was considering shutting down the institution before Jarigbe’s intervention.

According to a source close to the school,

“the Centre was established by the Sisters of St. Mary Medical Mission of the Roman Catholic Church since the 1970s and has catered to generations of handicapped  students over decades, while many have gone from the school to lead very successful academic careers with some of them presently lecturing in higher institutions including the University of Calabar, Cross River State.

“Some of them have also  gained employment in various areas of human endeavour making them useful to themselves, their families and society instead of hawking their disabilities on the streets.”
