Oando Foundation has intervened
in selected schools in Lagos State with a focus on primary Schools through its
Adopt-A-School programme.
This was disclosed by Mrs.
Tokunbo Durosaro, Director of Oando Foundation when she visited the Ministry of
Education with her Management Team recently.
In her welcome address, the
Commissioner for Education, Mrs. Olayinka Oladunjoye thanked the foundation for
choosing education as its main focus especially Primary Schools being the
foundation for formal Education.
According to the
Commissioner, the Lagos State Government is totally committed to the provision
of quality education but cannot do it all alone due to limited resources and
huge number of primary schools which is over one thousand.
She disclosed that Lagos
State’s population poses a challenge because there is a lot of pressure to
adequately service other amenities such as roads, quality health service to
mention a few, but added that with the support of corporate Organizations like
Oando, the aim of government in providing qualitative education will be
achieved.
Mrs. Oladunjoye reiterated
the need for Private Sector to collaborate with the state government in order
to sustain the developmental policies and programmes of the state.
The Oando team made a
presentation in which they highlighted their reasons for focusing on Primary
Schools and their plans for the selected schools.
