Six classrooms and the Head Teacher’s office at the Waziri Primary School in Minna, Niger State have been renovated by Stanbic IBTC Holdings Plc.
The company revamped the facilities as part of its Adopt-A-School initiative, which exemplifies its commitment to fostering better learning environments for Nigerian children.
The renovation and infrastructure upgrades carried out at the school reflect Stanbic IBTC’s dedication to sustainable educational development.
The project involved several key improvements, including the renovation of two classroom blocks; the Installation of 120 new pieces of classroom furniture; the construction of a modern computer laboratory; a modern block of 12 toilets; planting of 50 trees to enhance the school environment; and the development of a football area for recreation and physical education.
In addition to these infrastructural advancements, Stanbic IBTC provided essential learning materials to enrich the educational experience for both pupils and teachers.
These enhancements will directly benefit 1,000 students and 117 teachers; equipping them with improved resources to achieve their full potential.
This project marks another significant milestone in the Adopt-A-School initiative, which is already improving the learning conditions of those impacted in Ogun, Akwa Ibom, Ekiti, Sokoto, Borno, and Gombe states.
Through these efforts, Stanbic IBTC continues to reinforce its commitment to improving lives and shaping future generations.
Waziri Primary School is the seventh school benefiting from the organisation’s commitment to educational development in Nigeria.
At the commissioning of the project recently, the acting chief executive of Stanbic IBTC, Mr Kunle Adedeji, said, “The Adopt-A-School initiative is part of our broader mission to foster sustainable growth and development in Nigeria. We are dedicated to creating an environment where children can learn and thrive.”
In his speech, the chairman of Chanchaga Local Government, Mr Aminu Ladan, said, “It is essential to recognise and appreciate the individuals and organisations actively working to create a better future for our communities. Their efforts inspire hope and lay the groundwork for the next generation to achieve their dreams.”
