In a move that’s turning heads and warming hearts, Barrister Steve Nwankpa, the main man at Izzi Local Government Area in Ebonyi State, is putting his money where his mouth is. He’s not just talking about education; he’s making it happen. Recently, he handed out scholarships to 28 bright but needy kids from Offianka community. That’s right, 28 future leaders getting a chance they might have missed!
Orphans Get a Helping Hand
But he didn’t stop there. Showing true leadership and a heart of gold, Nwankpa also stepped up to take care of two orphaned children from the same community. This isn’t just about throwing money around; it’s about changing lives and giving hope where it’s needed most.
Why This Matters Big Time
Speaking to reporters in Abakaliki, Nwankpa made it clear: he wants everyone in the community to feel the positive vibes of his administration. He plans to keep these good deeds rolling as long as he has the vision and the grace. And let’s be real, that’s the kind of leader we need more of!

So, how did all this come about? It started with a surprise visit to the Nursery and Primary sections of John Calvin Secondary School, Offianka. Nwankpa saw firsthand that many students were struggling to pay fees and afford uniforms. He jumped into action, covering their costs and setting them up with scholarships. Now, that’s what I call leadership!
Investing in the Future Leaders
Nwankpa gets it. He knows that putting money into kids’ education is the smartest investment you can make. It’s not just about today; it’s about building a better tomorrow. He’s also all about backing Governor Francis Nwifuru’s efforts to grow the next generation of leaders.
