Group backs the establishment of Stars University, Golf Course

Anioma Youth Forum, AYF, has thrown its weight behind the establishment of the proposed Stars University and Golf Course in the Idumuje-Ugboko, Aniocha North Local Government Area, by a philanthropist, Prince Ned Nwoko, noting that the projects will not only transform the social economic lives of the people but will also boasts the image of Delta State when completed.

“In other climes, this kind of projects are crave for, the projects is estimated to employ over 2000 locals with it multipliers effect should not only to be embrace by all, but should be supported by all Idumuje-Ugboko in particular and the entire Anioma and Delta in general. Today, Ogwuashi-Uku, Abraka, Auchi, Ekpoma to mention but a few are burbling with socio-economic activities because of the Polytheistic and Universities sited in their domain. Prince Ned Nwoko, the brain behind the projects, is a positive, calm, well-defined gentleman, a world renowned philanthropist and detribalized personality, devoid of sentiments, a man that attends to myriad of complaints from people of various communities, as he usually deploys his personal resources to improve their conditions. A man that is imbued with wisdom, determination and with the courage needed to succeed in his endeavour, often time fashion out possible ways to help the people who throng to his residence whenever he visits home.”
