In an inspiring move for the educational landscape in Lagos, the Greenwich Foundation has successfully renovated the Ransome Kuti Memorial Junior and Senior Grammar School located in Yaba. This revitalization effort reinforces the foundation’s ongoing commitment to social responsibility and its dedication to improving educational infrastructure across Nigeria.
Erelu Adebayo, the distinguished Chairman of the Greenwich Foundation, took center stage during the unveiling of the newly refurbished facilities, expressing pride in the initiative. “Today marks a significant milestone for us as we unveil the revamped structures that embody our vision for educational excellence,” she stated. The extensive renovations include the painting of classrooms, replacement of ceiling fans and lighting systems, renovations to the food shed, and interlocking the school’s backyard, ensuring that both Junior and Senior Secondary students enjoy a welcoming and functional learning environment.
Adebayo emphasized the school’s longstanding role as a beacon of hope within the community, demonstrating the foundation’s commitment to fostering educational growth. In her remarks, she also acknowledged the crucial partnerships that made this project possible, specifically thanking the Lagos State Government and contributors like Greenwich Merchant Bank, Greenwich Registrars & Data Solutions Ltd, and Greenwich Trustees Ltd.
The initiative was not only about aesthetic upgrades; it also prioritized essential facilities for the students. Yewande Akomolede, Programme Co-ordinator of the Greenwich Foundation, revealed that the renovation kicked off last year with the construction of 66 new restrooms for students. “Providing clean and functional restrooms is vital for both the well-being and comfort of our students, helping to create a more conducive learning environment,” she remarked.
Yusuf Ajoke, the Tutor General (Permanent Secretary) of Lagos State, commended the foundation’s effort, noting that such renovations significantly enhance quality learning outcomes. His encouragement reflects a broader commitment within the state’s education sector to provide students with the tools and environments they need to succeed.
The renovation of Ransome Kuti Grammar School serves as a testament to the power of community collaboration in education. As institutions and initiatives like the Greenwich Foundation continue to invest in our future generations, they pave the way for a brighter and more educated society.
This remarkable renovation is not just a physical enhancement but a significant step towards ensuring that every child in Nigeria has access to high-quality education.
