A Non-Profit Organisation, Ibadan Elite Chapter of Junior Chambers International (JCI) has renovated two Blocks of classrooms in Seventh Day Adventist Primary School, Ibadan, under the Oyo State Adopt-a-school project.
The President of JCI Ibadan Elite, JC Sanmi Abiodun, made this known today during the commissioning of the project, adding that the Organisation also intends to build and equip a library for the school.
Sanmi at the inauguration of the projects said the organisation also renovated the school’s dilapidated walls to enhance security.
Speaking at the event held, the Chairman, Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board, Dr. Nureni Adeniran lauded the NGO for the initiative, which he said would go a long way to enhance the assimilation of the pupils.
According to the Chairman, the efforts of the Organisation is commendable and should be emulated by all well-meaning Nigerians, as government alone could not solve the accumulated problem in the education sector.
He said JCI’s kind gesture came at a time the state government was encouraging public private partnership, calling on individuals to invest in education needs in the state.
“The government of Engr. Seyi Makinde is doing a lot to redeem the education sector of the State. We have been doing more in construction and renovation of school buildings. However, kind hearted Organisations, as yours may support government, for the sake of our children’s future. There is no support that is too small”, he said.
