The
Edo State Government has secured admission in one of the state’s top
secondary schools for 13-year-old Daniel Oikhena, who stowed away in the
wheel of an Arik Aircraft from Benin to Lagos on Saturday August 24,
2013.
The state Governor, Comrade Adams
Oshiomhole, disclosed this when the Managing Director, Federal Airports
Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) Mr George Uriesi, led FAAN management team
on a visit at the Government House, Benin City, yesterday.
According to the governor, “without
meaning to encourage anyone else, we decided to support him by sending
him to one of the top secondary schools in Edo State owned by the
government. The reason for opting for a boarding school is that we think
there’s need to closely watch him, something his parents could not do.
“He is an intelligent young man with
uncommon challenges, but one who has a vision. We had him examined by
people who should know and the result confirmed that he is normal”,
Oshiomhole noted.
