The Director General of Dr. Osahon Enabulele Foundation,   Dr. Osahon Enabulele has stressed on the need for Nigerians to  encourage people and communities to pursue knowledge through proper channels of education.

Dr. Enabulele,  who made the call during a courtesy visit to the management of Independent Television and Radio in Benin City said Education is not a scam.

"We need to encourage our people to pursue knowledge through proper channels.  The DOEF  is collaborating with the Ministry of Education to ensure that education is viewed as a vital pillar of society" he noted.

While expressing  heartfelt appreciation to the management and staff of ITV for their  support during the launch  and colloquium of his foundation on January 29th, Dr. Enabulele emphasized that the success of the event would not have been possible without the partnership from ITV and the invaluable support of the proprietor and founder,  Sir Chief Gabriel Osawaru Igbinedion.

 “We have  come to thank you and to appreciate you for the level of support you gave us that day. The  launch  which attracted many community members and personalities was a pivotal event aimed at fostering dialogue on pressing issues facing Nigeria.

Dr. Enabulele highlighted the impressive turnout of ITV’s management, including the Managing Director and Executive Director, who were physically present at the event. This, he said, underscored the station's commitment to social progress and community engagement.

He said that the foundation’s work extends far beyond a single event, adding that,  “This is not a one-day initiative; we are committed to changing the narrative of our society in fundamental ways. The feedback we received from the launch was overwhelmingly positive, with many attendees impressed by the learning points presented,” 

He believes that the foundation has the potential to empower individuals and communities, encouraging citizens to engage actively without solely relying on government intervention.

"The foundation is poised to roll out various initiatives focused on leadership, governance, and social philanthropy, including leadership workshops aimed at youth and educational initiatives at primary and secondary levels. 

Dr. Enabulele further disclosed that preparations for the next International Summit are already underway, emphasizing that it will not be a one-day event but will span several days to maximize impact.

“We want to make sure Benin resonates within the sphere of Nigeria as a hub for leadership discussions,” he added..

The visit concluded with the presentation of a plaque by Dr. Osahon Enabulele, who proudly awarded the DOE Foundation plaque of honor to the  ITV MD, Mr. Elvis Obaseki, for his  support in strengthening future collaboration aimed at furthering community engagement and promoting democracy and civic participation.
