No fewer than one million (1,000,000,000) persons have benefited from the free daily feeding of Godsent Foundation’s free feeding programme since it inception five years ago.

The charity organisation, since it inception, had also taken from the streets a quite large number indigent children and offered them free education in the organisation’s owned school.

President, Godsent Foundation, Ambassador Dion Osagie, made the disclosure while fielding questions from Benin-based journalists via online at the occasion of Godsent Foundation reunion held at Barcelona, Spain.

The reunion was themed: Effect of COVID: Moving Forward.

The President who said currently the Foundation has not less than 207 students from pre KG to Junior Secondary School (JSS III) who are going through free education in the Foundation’s school, added that the dream is to have a standard school where indigent children will enjoy free education to the fullest.

While noting that most of the children under free education were picked in the streets by his foundation and that the first set numbering 11 students have graduated, Dr. Osagie said if Nigeria can have a system whereby at least one child is taken off the streets, it will go a long way in addressing the insecurity bedeviling the country and other vices.

He added: “Prosperity is possible if we can come together. If we can remove one person from the streets every month, it is a big plus to addressing insecurity in Nigeria; it is a plus to developing the state and county. So, Godsent Foundation meeting this year in Barcelona is a way to show where we are coming from.

“Godsent Foundation owns the only free school in Edo State. The school is operated by Godsent Foundation family. As we have one in Edo State, we can have in each local governments. And this is why we are meeting this year to see how we can move our school forward,” he added.

He continued: “Our free school has pre-KG, and KG1 to 3, primary 1-6 and JSS 1-3. Our goal is to have a standard school that will offer tuition-fee free education for all.

“We believe that education is the key to a better life. If we want to groom good leaders in Nigeria, we must offer them quality education. And it makes me very sad that many young persons are not in school because of the failure of government.”

According to him, over a 100 children who were picked from the streets by Godsent Foundation have reunited with their respectively families and likewise doing well.

He disclosed that since the founding of the Foundation and all the good works done, not a single dime has been received from the government.

He added: “It may shock you to know that since we have been doing this programme far back five years ago, we have not received a dime from the government. It may also surprise you to know that we have not received any form of support from government. And this is a programme that has helped government solve more than 10000 cases.

“Godsent Foundation is just make up of people with likes mind; people with good heart. People who do not want to see others suffer. So, we come together to contribute for the common welfare of our people.”

The Police Service Commission has debunked reports circulating on social media and several unofficial websites claiming that it has opened a portal for recruitment into the Nigeria Police Force.

The Commission described the publications as fake, warning that they were created by fraudsters seeking to deceive and exploit unsuspecting Nigerians.

In a statement published on its official website on Monday, the PSC said it had not commenced any recruitment exercise.

“The general public is hereby informed that these publications are fake and entirely misleading.

“They are the handiwork of fraudsters attempting to exploit innocent citizens,” the Commission said.

It added that no recruitment portal had been opened by the Commission.

“There is currently no ongoing recruitment into the Nigeria Police Force.

“The Police Service Commission has not opened any portal for such an exercise,” the statement added.

The PSC stressed that whenever recruitment begins, the announcement will be made strictly through authorised platforms.

According to the statement, official channels include advertisements in reputable national newspapers, announcements posted on the Commission’s verified website (www.psc.gov.ng), and formal press releases.

“We urge Nigerians to rely only on information published through these official channels.

“Any recruitment portal not listed on our website is fraudulent and should be reported to the police,” the commission said.

The PSC advised the public to ignore the fake recruitment claims to avoid falling victim to scams.

The PUNCH had reported that the Police Service Commission has cautioned Nigerians seeking a career in the Nigeria Police Force to beware of fake recruitment adverts circulating online, insisting that it has not yet commenced the 2025 recruitment exercise.
