GUO Motors Founder Celebrates Birthday by Transforming Education for Anambra’s Less-Privileged with New Classrooms and Hostels

Anambra State transport mogul and founder of GUO Motors, Sir Godwin Okeke, has constructed a set of classrooms, lodging, and learning theaters for less-privileged individuals in the state. The new facilities, which include hostels and vocational centers, are fully equipped with essential learning resources.

Speaking at the handover ceremony in Onitsha on Sunday, Okeke explained that this initiative aims to provide quality education to the needy and reduce the number of street beggars, including people living with disabilities.

Okeke said, “My wife and I took it upon ourselves to invest in the less-privileged and people with disabilities by building a massive structure for lodging, classrooms for better learning, providing teachers, and enough food for them to eat."

In celebration of his 75th birthday and his wife's 70th, Okeke also revealed that they had deposited over N30 million into the accounts of elderly parents in the community. He urged other wealthy individuals to support the less privileged to help reduce crime, unemployment, and hunger in Nigeria.

“We are happy doing this and will continue to do this, hoping that God will reward us. In marking our birthday, we decided to put up two massive structures just to assist people with disabilities. One is a storey building of classrooms with over eight big classrooms and the other is a school hostel, which is well equipped. I supplied enough food, teaching materials, and free transport for movements."

Okeke further emphasized their long-term commitment to supporting the less privileged, highlighting that they have been involved in such charitable activities for the past 10 years.

“I have given out over N30 million in cash to the less-privileged and the elderly, yet we are ready to do more. My wife and I are doing all this to show the world that such individuals need help and to encourage the rich to start helping the poor and those in need,” he added.
