The Rotary Club, Omole-Golden, District 9111, on Thursday commissioned renovated administrative block and eight student toilets at Ajuwon Senior High School, Ogun State, as part of its commitment to giving back to society.
The project was opened for use today Thursday by the District Governor, District 9111, Bukola Bakare.
At the commissioning ceremony, the Impact President, Rotary Club Omole-Golden, District 9111, Omowunmi Bakare, said the project represents investments in education, health, human dignity, environmental sustainability and the future of the children.
She said the club embarked on the project because it realises that education remains one of the most powerful instruments for individual advancement, community development and national transformation, noting that quality education cannot thrive in an environment where essential infrastructure is inadequate.
“They demonstrate what becomes possible when compassionate individuals unite around a common vision and an unwavering commitment to service. A conducive learning environment requires functional administrative facilities, safe and hygienic sanitation facilities and surroundings that promote health, comfort and general well-being,” Omowunmi said.
The President further said that the project signifies investment in human capital, educational excellence and the future of Nigeria, adding that it aligns with the club’s key areas of focus, which are basic education and literacy, water, sanitation and hygiene, and protecting the environment.
The District Governor, District 9111, Bukola Bakare, commended Rotary Club, Omole-Golden, for renovating the administrative block and building new toilets for the students.
The Principal of the school, Okusaga Adejoke, commended Rotary Club Omole-Golden for sharing with the school the vision for quality education.
She said the renovated administrative block had been in deplorable condition and thanked the club for “restoring the dignity of our school.”
“Rotary Club of Omole-Golden, you have done more than renovate buildings. You have restored dignity, improved health, boosted morale and created an environment where teaching and learning can truly thrive.
“You have demonstrated that when the Rotary Club of Omole-Golden and the school collaborate, the greatest beneficiaries are the children and the future of our nation,” she said.
A representative of the Ogun State Ministry of Education, Emmanuel Asegbe, said the state “celebrates impact and people who work within the society to make impact.”
