In October 2023, Nka Ikem Esit (Washington D.C. Chapter) learned of Citizens Academy, an Elementary School in Calabar, where orphans, underprivileged and at-risk children were sitting on the floor, in make-shift classrooms in an uncompleted building without chairs, desks or even windows. With only a month in office, the new Nka administration led by President Rita Nyambi and Vice President Vivienne Asuquo swung into action and mobilized Nka members to coordinate the procurement and delivery of the following items:

• School Desks to sit 110 Students
• 2 Sets of Uniforms enough for 120 Students
• School Shoes for 120 Students
• Bag packs for 120 Students
• Pencils
• Notebooks

The students are now in a new facility in Parliamentary Village. In December 2023 in the midst of the Christmas Holiday in Calabar, Cross River State Nigeria Above items funded by Nka were presented in a Ribbon Cutting ceremony attended by Chief (Dr.) Chris Effiong (Nka Founder) and Dr. Felicia Bassey-Akamune (Nka Past President) among others. We are so appreciative of your representation. Kudos to NKA Executives and Nka’s project manager for this initiative and all the members of NKA IKEM ESIT Charitable Organization for making this a reality for the Students of Citizens Academy.

Nka Ikem Esit anyin anyin! Ayooooooo! Edidiana edi Uforo! We are stronger TOGETHER!
