Rochas Okorocha Gives Imo School Children N100 Monthly Stipend!

The Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha on November 1 commenced the payment of monthly stipend to all primary and secondary schools students in the state. The allowance is for their 'upkeep'.

The primary school pupils will receive N100, while their secondary school counterparts will get N120.

Primary school monitors will get N120, while prefects in the secondary schools will receive N150.

I don't know whether to commend this or laugh. N100 per month? What do you buy with N100? Kuli Kuli? lol. Why not buy them books, school uniforms, sandals, build libraries and equip the schools with more facilities, etc.. just anything to make it work!!
