Daniel and the the Managing Director of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, George Uriesi with Edo State Governor Adams Oshiomhole yesterday Wednesday Sept. 11th.
Daniel Oikhena is the 14 year old boy who beat airline and airport security at Benin airport on Saturday August 24th and flew in the tyre hole of a Lagos-bound Arik plane because he thought the plane was headed for the US. Daniel has been given scholarship by the governor of Edo State, Governor Oshiomhole and I don't think it's the right move to make. Not that I don't wish him well, but it doesn't set a good precedent and may encourage others to do the same. Read what the governor said below;

“Without meaning to encourage anyone else, we decided to support him by sending him to one of the top secondary schools in Edo State that is owned by the Government. The reason for opting for a boarding school is that we think that there is need to closely watch him which his parents could not do. He is an intelligent young man with uncommon challenges, but one that has a vision. We had him examined by people who should know and the result confirmed that he is normal"
What do you guys think of this move by the governor?
It's good that the govt has offered the boy scholarship, but I hope other young boys won't follow that footstep just to gain favour from the govt. >>Millicleo<<
