The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have renovated classroom blocks belonging to Salawu Abiola High School, Abeokuta, Ogun State.
The facilities, which comprise 20 classrooms, 36 toilets, 100 desks and chairs for students, and 20 sets of furniture for teachers, were delivered with extensive rehabilitation of external structures.
Stakeholders said the gesture would ease overcrowding and improve teaching and learning in the school.
The church officials also mentioned that the project was independently funded through donations from members. Gracing the event, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry for Education, Science and Technology, Mrs. Oluwatosin Oloko, praised the church for complementing the state in addressing the infrastructural gap in schools.
“The essence of today is to hand over these facilities to the school community. The church has provided two blocks of classrooms, complete with toilets and furniture, and even renovated the external buildings. This is a remarkable contribution that we truly appreciate, and we will not take it for granted,” Oloko said.
