Ahead Ojude Oba, Glo Donates Classrooms, ICT Lab To School

National telecoms operator, Globacom, has donated a block of fully equipped classrooms to Ijebu Muslim School, Ijebu Ode, Ogun State, as part of activities marking the 2012 Ojude Oba festival.
At the commissioning of the block of classrooms and an ICT laboratory on Saturday, Globacom said this was one of the many projects it designed as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility drive.
According to the Head of CSR, Mrs. Ben Ayede, the company is committed to providing facilities that will assist Nigerian youths to be the best in their various endeavours as well as put them at par with their contemporaries across the world. “We are mindful of the fact that government alone cannot successfully fund a functional educational system. This block of five classrooms is enriched with an IT centre, 50 internet-enabled computers and fully furnished classrooms with students and teachers’ desks and chairs. The facility will make the world indeed a global village for students and teachers of the college.”
The state governor, Ibikunle Amosun, applauded Glo for the donation. The governor who was represented by his Special Adviser on Education, Dr. Tunji Abimbola, said: “We’ll take the photographs of this facility and recommend it as the standard structure for schools in the state.”
He thanked the firm for making provision for disabled students.
