Onoja, SAN donates classrooms to Community

Chief Ogwu James Onoja, SAN, Chairman and Co-Founder, Deacon Job & Mrs Omada Onoja Foundation (Djmoof), at the weekend donated a furnished block of three classrooms to Adumu Community Secondary School, Ogugu, Kogi State.  

At the event which took place on Saturday, 5th June, 2021, the learned Senior Advocate said the project is in honour of his wife, Mrs. Rosemary Onoja, her family and community of Adumu in Ogugu, Kogi State.

Expressing his appreciations to the board and executives of Adumu Development Association for giving the foundation “the opportunity to make a modest contribution to your growing community”, the implementation Committee members for working tirelessly ensure the completion of the project, Chief Onoja who is Principal Partner of O.J. Onoja, SAN & Associates, and Publisher/Editor – in – Chief of Bar and Bench Publishers Limited said: The money spent to actualize this project will mean nothing compared to the sacrifices of those who diligently applied them to achieve the positive results witnessed here today.”

The Foundation, abbreviated as “Djmoof”, is a non-political platform that Chief Onoja jointly envisioned with his wife in honour and memory of his late parents to assist the indigents in their communities. Consequently, the foundation has over the years ameliorated the lives of many awarding scholarships to students of tertiary institutions, payments of school fees including NECO registration fees, sinking of boreholes, road repairs, hosting of sporting activities, amongst others without any donation from government, individuals or organizations. Adumu Football team is also a registered participant in the annual Unyi Ogugu Football Tournament.

Represented at the occasion by his wife, Mrs. Rosemary Onoja, Chief Onoja in his speech remarked that: “While Ogugu people are all related by blood, I am a proud and special son of Adumu London by virtue of love; that is, my marriage to Rosemary 24 years ago, precisely on the 31st March, 1997. I am here because my heart is planted here. It is in honour of my beloved Wife, Rosemary, who is incidentally the Co-Founder of this foundation, and my five lovely children who are also proud indigenes of this growing and very enterprising community, that this project was initiated, nurtured, completed and to be commissioned today.”
