The Ekiti State Government has urged alumni associations across the state to contribute to the improvement of infrastructure in their former schools to enhance the learning environment for students.
The call was made by the Commissioner for Education, Kofoworola Aderiye, at Igbemo Ekiti in Irepodun/Ifelodun Local Government Area during the commissioning of a renovated classroom block, an upgraded science laboratory, and a mini-bus donated by the Igbemo Community Comprehensive High School (ICCHS) Old Students Association.
Represented by the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Education, Mr Bayode Ogunmola, Aderiye praised the alumni for complementing government efforts in improving educational facilities across the state. She noted that the upgraded classrooms, laboratory, and mini-bus would significantly enhance teaching and learning at the school.
She added, “This is a call to other alumni groups to emulate the ICCHS Old Students Association. The state government is ready to partner with individuals, corporate organisations, and development partners committed to advancing education in Ekiti State.”
