The Head Teacher of Nawair-ud-deen Nursery and Primary School, Isale Ijeun, Mrs Somefun Oluwatoyin Taiwo, lauded the chairman for the support, noting that the new desks would reduce overcrowding and improve classroom concentration.

In her own part, Mrs. Akinseyinde Doyinsola Arinola, the Head Teacher of Ebenezer Baptist Nursery and Primary School, Oke Saje, described the donation as a morale booster for our pupils and teachers. We are grateful to the Chairman for prioritizing education.
