As a way of giving back to society, Stanbic IBTC Pension Managers, a Pension Fund Administrator in Nigeria, has completed a renovation initiative at the Government Day Secondary School in Akampka – a crucial step in addressing the numerous challenges faced by the institution.
The school, which serves 850 students and 40 staff members from six local communities, has undergone substantial improvements to foster a conducive learning environment.
The extensive renovation addressed critical infrastructure issues, including the refurbishment of three classroom blocks; the provision of new classroom furniture; and the upgrading of toilet facilities to ensure an effective sewage system. A reliable water supply system has also been provided, significantly enhancing the overall educational experience for both students and staff.
“This project represents a significant investment in the educational landscape of Akampka,” stated Olumide Oyetan, the Chief Executive of Stanbic IBTC Pension Managers.
“Investing in the education and well-being of our youth is not merely an obligation; it is a powerful opportunity to cultivate hope and bring about meaningful changes within our communities. By revitalising institutions like Government Day Secondary School, we are tackling immediate challenges while laying the groundwork for a brighter future” he added.
In addition to restoring essential infrastructure, the renovation project taken on by the organisation also provides long-term value to the surrounding communities, inspiring them to invest in educational development.
