The Edipi school in Ituri Province has undergone significant renovations, marking the end of an era of difficult learning conditions for students. On November 14, 2026, the school was officially reopened with modern facilities, thanks to the efforts of James Kenda Odou, a prominent figure in the Convention Fédérale du Congo (CFC) party. The project was fully funded by Odou, who is committed to the development of his community.

The new infrastructure is expected to improve learning conditions for students and working conditions for teachers. The project is part of a larger effort to support the government's initiatives in the education sector. According to James Kenda Odou, "Bâtir des écoles n’a de sens que si la sécurité est garantie" ("Building schools only makes sense if security is guaranteed"). He emphasized the importance of security and responsibility in the community.

The modernization of the Edipi school is part of James Kenda Odou's efforts to promote education in the region. He has also announced plans to inaugurate the Institut Supérieur Pédagogique (ISP) de Adi in the Kakwa chiefdom, which will provide higher education opportunities for students. This project is expected to be a major boost to education in the Ituri Province.

The event was attended by the local community, who expressed their gratitude and relief at the improved learning conditions. The new facilities are expected to provide a safe and conducive learning environment for students. James Kenda Odou also launched a message of unity and citizenship, urging the community to abandon tribalism and work together for the development of the country.

The project is seen as a significant contribution to the development of the education sector in the Ituri Province. The government has been working to improve education in the region, and James Kenda Odou's efforts are seen as a complement to these initiatives. The modernization of the Edipi school is expected to have a positive impact on the community.
