He said while men were busy pushing after fame and ego, the man of God was striving to give help to the poor.


He said building a first class school with stte of the arts facilities at no cost was rare and called on well placed individuals to emulate him as a way to bridge the gap between the poor and the rich.


While saying that education was not about the beauty and ambience of the school environment, the Governor said it was about the character of graduands of such institution.


Welcoming guests earlier, Reverend Father Dibia said he was always guided by the Biblical injunction to always consider the poor in his dealings pointing out that the vision of the school was to offer free education while parents of the students and pupils take care of their feeding.


He disclosed that he had a covenant with God that 20percent of whatever he got would be for his maintenance while 80percent would go to the poor .


He said one sure way to enjoy long life and lasting prosperity was for wealthy individuals to give to the poor.
