On Friday last week, May 25th 2012, Etisalat Nigeria handed over a brand new fully re-constructed primary school with 3 blocks of 15 classrooms, modern (*tush*) toilets and administrative offices, to the Lagos state government. The biggest part for me is that, Etisalat Nigeria is adopting the Rabiatu Thompson Memorial School FOR LIFE! That means as long as Rabiatu Thompson Memorial School exists, Etisalat would take care of it! Continue...
Rabiatu Thompson is a public primary school in the heart of Surulere. Way back in 2011, Etisalat Nigeria demolished the school’s ‘vomitable’ (just coined that word; it means: dreadful!) structure, re-designed and re-constructed it. Not kidding! Before you say Linda has come again, check out the before and after photos *pouting*.
Etisalat also inspected every stage of the construction work until the company was satisfied with the new environment which is more suitable for a child to learn in.
Etisalat, the fastest growing telecommunications company in Nigeria, made a decision three years back to make education one of its priority areas, and created the Adopt-a-School initiative as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility CSR to Nigeria.
Babatunde Fashola, the Lagos State governor, was represented at the re-commissioning of the school by the Honourable Commissioner for Education, Mrs. Olayinka Oladunjoye. The CEO, Etisalat Nigeria, Mr. Steven Evans was there also along with Board Member of the company, Mr. Kayode Sofola.
Etisalat Nigeria has now adopted three schools, namely: Akande Dahunsi Memorial High School, Ikoyi; Edward Blyden Primary School, Lagos Island and Rabiatu Thompson Memorial Primary School, Surulere. All these schools are in Lagos and all have been adopted for life.
