The Commissioner, who was elated by the volume of work done, commended the foundation for keying into the School Adoption and Mentorship Programme of the state government where individuals, corporate bodies are encouraged to look for schools and add value to learning and teaching in the state as government cannot do it alone.
He stated that the School Adoption and Mentorship programme of the state is to restore the glory of education and promote the involvement of stakeholders in supporting education; thanking the Okeagi Foundation for supporting the state to enhance the educational development of learners.
Hon. Jones encouraged well to do individuals and corporate bodies to buy into the programme as the challenges in the education sector required the collective effort of all stakeholders to ensure a safe, accessible and conducive environment in schools.
Henry Adetayo Foundation is currently building a block of three classrooms, restructuring and renovation of two block of six classrooms at the Okeagi Local Government Secondary School, Mopa.
