The Principal of Ajumoni Senior Secondary School, Iyana-Isolo, Mr Olukayode Ogunyemi, has hailed the organiser of Young Leaders Hub Projects (YLHP) while commending the students for making donations to the school.
The project is an in-school leadership and personal development programme to groom secondary schools students across the country to be effective leaders in their immediate environment and among their peers.
According to the Convener, Abiodun Ajayi, the project is aimed at tapping into the passion and energy of the youths by helping them to identify and rise to social problems around them.
Ajayi explained that the programme, which featured intensive training sessions, helped them to identify the social problem in their school.
This influenced the students to donate six waste bins to enhance waste disposal management in the school and also a bedspread to the school sickbay.
He explained that the project had been carried out in Ejigbo High School and Ilupeju Senior Grammar School is next, being some of the schools in the District 6 selected for the pilot phase of the projects as other schools across the state and in Ogun State have called to have the programme.
Commenting on the programme, the school principal described it as fantastic and laudable, noting that it was the first of its kind to be organised in the school.
The coordinator of the programme, Obiekwe Chukwuma, said it cost just N9,000 to purchase the items as he hinted that more donations are in the pipeline.
