The Chairman,
Osisioma Ngwa Local Government Area,
Aba.
Sir,
PETITION AGAINST THE PLANNED CLOSURE OF OSISIOMA ORPHANAGE HOME
It has come to my knowledge that Osisioma Ngwa Local Government Area intends to close down the Osisioman Orphanage Home due to scarcity of funds to continue the smooth running of the orphanage home.
Sir, I wish to remind you that the well-being of the people is the primary responsibility of government. Osisioma Ngwa Local Government Area has the highest number of homeless children and orphans in Abia State. Closure of this orphanage implies that these children will be sent out to the street without anyone to carter for them.
The danger of having such massive number of children out on the streets is that they may be turned into criminals by unscrupulous elements in society who seek to exploit the vulnerability of this group of people to achieve their selfish ends.
We are already overwhelmed by the current security challenges in this part of the state, we definitely do not want to create more problems for ourselves by churning out potential hoodlums from this orphanage home.
I beg you sir to rescind your earlier decision and allow the orphanage home to continue in the interest of common good.
Thanks in anticipation of your positive response.
Yours Faithfully,
Jude Njoku
