The Common Men Assembly (CMA) has reiterated its belief in education as a catalyst for development with the launch of its Back to School 2026 initiative in Delta State.
The programme, which focuses on supplying essential learning materials to public primary schools, is expected to benefit pupils in 25 communities across five local government areas.

Working alongside Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited and the Godfrey Pondi Book Club, the group distributed desks, books, bags, and sandals to selected schools on the first day.
Schools in Okosugbene, Orugbene, and Ofogbene received 30 desks each, while other schools in Burutu and Warri South West LGAs received assorted learning materials.
The items were received by school officials and community leaders, including Mrs. Ebiyerin Esiri, Mr. Roland Government, and Mr. Oweikeniafa Ebi.
Pupils were seen excitedly engaging with the new materials, a development observers say could positively influence learning outcomes in the affected schools.
