Foremost socio-cultural group, Common Men Assembly has announced plans to distribute educational and welfare materials to riverine communities in Delta State as part of its 2026 Back-to-School outreach.
The programme will see the distribution of 20,000 exercise books, 5,000 school bags, 5,000 pairs of sandals, and 500 classroom desks to selected public schools across Burutu, Bomadi, Patani, Warri South West, and Warri North Local Government Areas.
According to the organisers, the outreach billed to run from January 7th – 13th, 2026 is designed to ease the burden on pupils and families in hard-to-reach riverine areas, where access to basic learning materials remains a challenge.
