It was the day of his instant departure from poverty. Japhet was a Secondary School (SS1) student of Alegbo Secondary School Effurun, who made ends meet by working as a commercial bus conductor during holidays. But day came when Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan met Japhet and his story changed.
It appeared destiny arranged for the Governor and Japhet to meet at an interactive meeting at the Petroleum Training Institute (PTI) Conference Centre, Effurun, where the governor had gone to assure the people of Delta Central of speedy development of the area.
Aware of the usual over zealousness of the security officials, the governor had stopped at the entrance of the premise to ensure that all who wanted to be part of the meeting were allowed in. That was when his eyes caught the poor Japhet. Moved by compassion, Governor Uduaghan, on the spot, adopted the then 17-year old Japhet Omene as his son to the joy of the people.
Now, 22 years old Japhet, with the help of his adopted father (Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan) has graduated from secondary and is currently studying History and International Relations at Bowen University, Ogun State.
Japhet Omene is a native of Mosogar in Ethiope West Area, Delta State. His parents had him and his sister in Lagos. But the family had to relocate to Delta State to find a better living condition.
