The theme of our program is “operation wipe out illiteracy in Nigeria by 2030”. This is because the illiteracy level in Nigeria is very high as confirmed by Nigerian education minister, Alhaji Adamu Adamu who said that`` 75 million people are illiterates in Nigeria and that it is too high and not good for the country - Vanguard 21, September, 2017.’’

The population of Nigeria is about 180 million people and 75 million are illiterates, this means that about 41% of the people are illiterates. Do you know the economic, social, political adverse effect, illiteracy will have on the country? No wonder Nigeria, “The Giant of Africa” is still the way we are, backward in development in all ramifications.

The time is now for us all to support this war against mass illiteracy in Nigeria, but Abuja to be precise and thereby joining the rest of the world in keeping with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Remember, literacy is the mother of all empowerments including all forms of education and developments. Literacy is like “teaching a person how to fish rather than giving the person fish”.

To God be the glory, Nigerian President, Mohamadu Buhari has declared state of emergency on adults and youths ILLITERACY in Nigeria and that is why GLOBAVASITY is calling on you to join us in this war against mass illiteracy in Nigeria as you partner or sponsor us the inspired, commissioned, and accredited NGO for mass literacy in Nigeria: GLOBAVASITY-the reading and writing experts.

Dear sir/madam, please remember the saying; let each one teach one or sponsor the teaching of one or more so that we will have a better society, devoid of illiteracy, under- development, unemployment, militancy, injustices, gender inequality and more. Hence by the special grace of JEHOVAH GOD, we are the last bus stop and the moving train with high velocity and capacity to END or CRUSH illiteracy in Nigeria by 2030. If you will support us on this fight against mass illiteracy in Abuja and Nigeria in general.

The word illiteracy is the inability of a person to read, write, do numeracy and speak a particular language of interest, say English language. Then an illiterate is like a deaf, dump, and blind person, who cannot communicate or interact effective with other people. Today in Nigeria such categories of people are too many in our country as confirmed by the Minister of education, Alhaji Adamu Adamu who said “75 million people are illiterates in Nigeria and that it is too high and not good for the country - Vanguard 21, September, 2017.’’

What a disaster! how can the country economy and people grow when 41% of its population cannot access or use cell phones (GSM), ATM –machines (Banks), Read instructional books and many other sociable, know their rights, keep proper records, understand their environment, enhance their entrepreneurship skills, acquire life skills, shun inferiority complex, be eligible to vote and be voted for etc.

Globavasity – The reading and writing experts, an accredited NGO for mass Literacy in Nigeria. After 20 years of aggressive mass literacy fight in Rivers state and her neighbors decided to come to Abuja, to demonstrate, showcase, prove to Nigerians and the world that we have gotten the solution to mass illiteracy problem in Nigeria. We want to use Abuja as a model or a case study to prove the effectiveness, ingenuity, innovativeness of our unique methodology. An NGO empowered, inspired and commissioned by God to wage war against mass illiteracy in Nigeria, through our operation wipe out illiteracy in Nigeria by 2030 project. This we intend to achieve by establishing numerous centers within Abuja municipality and its neighbors, through partnerships and sponsorships.

6. WHAT WE INTEND TO ACHIEVE IN ABUJA – THE OUTCOME:

We want to graduate or train some thousands of adults and youth’s stark illiterates on basic literacy – reading and writing skills, post literacy – English grammar, and continuing education within one-year period base on individual learner’s ability. We will ensure to empower them to be very effective, efficient, bold and fluent in reading, writing, spelling, speaking and handling numeracy.

We intend to empower them to be technologically viable in accessing and operating cell phones (GSM), ATM machine for banking, computers and other electronic gadgets. To make them become fully aware of their environment, social, economic, cultural, political, psychological and hidden abilities. To help in the reduction of road accidents, domestic and industrial mishaps due to their ability to read maps, road signs and other manufacturers manuals. To reduce stress in governance as they are now well- informed for effective smooth participation that will bring about peace and prosperity of the individual, community and the country in general. To create and enhance their required skills for jobs and entrepreneurship and empowering them to vote and be voted for, as well as reducing suspicions as they become happier to themselves and others.

To empower more girls and women due to their positions and high participations in the building of the family, community and the nation in general. Their ability to read, write, speak and do numeracy will help the family in many ways such as handling drugs prescriptions without error, do petty trading, give proper money change, keep good records as a result of becoming literates. Hence there is hope for a greater, healthier, prosperous nation. Remember, a great family begets a super great nation.

GLOBAVASITY (RV131970) The Reading and Writing Experts HEAD OFFICE: #99 Victoria Street Town Port Harcourt, Rivers State |Phone:+2348035406810 | +2348036620559 Website: www.globavasity.com | Email: [email protected] 9. How we plan to mobilize learners: We intend to use the following methods or measures to gather our learners base on best fit for the area, they are;  Campaign cars for house to house, street to street, and for city to city (hunting for learners).  Campaign stands for busy junctions in the cities.  Radio and TV – programs for the General Public.  Social media platforms for those on social networks.  Posters, flexes and banners for pedestrians, onlookers.  Town crying system for rural dwellers.  Letters to churches, mosques, Motor Park groups, chiefs, emirs, etc.

NOTE: The campaigns are the live wires of the program. We intend to invest 20% of our expected total income or expenses on creating public awareness for our mass literacy programs. If we succeed in the mass production of our unique books and DVDs, then the campaign using the campaign cars and stands would be encouraged.

10. Do we have the population (The adult illiterates)? Yes! We have the population and they are willing to learn if the program is FREE.

We are very skillful in gathering and training adult learners. About 41% of the entire Nigerian populations are illiterates, so we have the people.

Your acceptance we enable us to achieve our vision and mission of wiping out adults and youths’ mass illiteracy in Abuja and Nigeria in general by 2030.

Sir / madam, you are to decide what ever support or aid you may want to render to this mass literacy project, also you may select from our program categories (A – H) and to decide whether the program will go for standard or management, as the stipulated amount for both are clearly stated. We expect that you also decide the location/ area where the said program would be sited or run here in Abuja and even outside Abuja provided it is in Nigeria. And also to decide the program type whether part time or full time.

We believe that with your support no matter how small the number or amount may be, we are very sure that it will go a long way in supporting this WAR against mass illiteracy in Nigeria and thereby reducing the number of the affected 75 million people. This people are like BLIND, DEAF and DUMB as they cannot READ, WRITE, SPEAK and do numeracy. There present hopeless conditions need very urgent attention.

THE MAN BEHIND GLOBAVASITY AND HIS PROMISES

I am Ambassador Engr. Obisike Okechukwu Elechi, the director Globavasity institute of continuous and vocational education, Port Harcourt. A graduate of petroleum engineering, Rivers state university of science and technology. A native of Ozuoha town in Ikwerre local government area of Rivers state, Nigeria. Happily married with four children, author of many books and a born teacher, inspired and commissioned by God for mass literacy programs in Nigeria. This is evident in the number of unique books and DVDs I have published. A man so passionate and diligent in waging war against mass illiteracy, since 2001, and has made tremendous progress without any support from anybody, NGO or Government.

If supported for this project of mass literacy in Nigeria, Abuja to be precise. I promised to judiciously and jealously manage the fund very well and use it according to our agreement or purpose, in line with the Abuja mass literacy revolution and Nigeria in general. We believe that through your sponsorship and partnership, Globavasity will engage in nationwide mass literacy campaigns through our literacy programs on radio, television, and social media and so on. I am so sure and convinced that the display of our methodology or video on television / radio station will cause dramatic commotions among the general public and that will trigger the start of a mass literacy revolution in Nigeria. Yes, it is true that passionately I and my family have suffered so much to sustain this program for nineteen (19) years, since 2001. And have spent over three hundred million (#300,000,000.00), Single handedly. Also last three years ago 2017 to 2019, I sold my inheritance –land worth #10 MILLION to pay salaries and center rents. Yes, it is obvious that I will do anything to protect this ministry of mine (literacy programs), my passion and my investment of over 19 years. Thanks and God bless.
