Forty-seven-year-old Mrs Samuel Veronica is Dele’ s grandmother. She tells PETER DADA about her grandchildShe is in Lagos.When our aunt died sometime ago and she came to Ondo with her . So when they wanted to leave for Lagos, Dele said she was not going with them again, that she would stay with me. Since then, she has been staying with me. I enrolled her in a private school and have been taking care of her. She has been staying with me for about four years.
Yes, even the manager asked me to come to the bank and I have gone there. They gave me a form to fill; they also asked for my BVN and I have given it to them.I don’t know, I don’t understand it but I believe our lawyer will understand it. I also believe it is about the promises they made.Yes, MTN officials also came and they promised to install solar panels here that will give us electricity. Also, a solar company presented her with a solar lamp in her school.
She is really determined. It was the determination she had for her education that made her go to that ATM gallery to do her homework because she knew if she didn’t do the assignment, her teacher would flog her the following day. That was why she went to do the assignment there. And in their home, they didn’t have power. Even her grandmother said she tried to give her a phone to use but Dele said the light at the ATM gallery was brighter.She is doing well academically.
A bank has shown interest in Dele and has reached out to the family, has it contacted the school too?
