In line with its commitment to human capacity development and development of education in Kwara State, the Cornelius Olatunji Funmilayo Adebayo Foundation (COFA) has donated funds for the sponsorship of online classes for JSS 3 and SS 3 students preparing for the Junior and Senior West African Examination Exams, respectively.
The online class is the initiative of the Kwara South Youth Development Organization (KWAYORG) in response to the closure of schools in Kwara South Senatorial District by the state government over the insecurity challenges in the zone.
Announcing the sponsorship, the Foundation noted that the gesture is aimed at mitigating the effect of school closure on the students by preparing them adequately for the examinations coming up in the next few months.
“No one is oblivious of the psychological trauma the closure of schools in Kwara South is having on our children, particularly pupils of JSS 3 and SS 3, who should be preparing for their WAEC examinations now.
“The state government took a tough, but necessary decision to shut down the schools to forestall security breaches and keep our children safe,” said the statement.
The COFA management commended the leadership of KWAYORG for its creative initiative of the online classes.
“We commend KWAYORG for this brilliant initiative. This is a noble and creative idea that all well-meaning Kwarans must support to ensure its success. For COFA, we are proud to identify with the youth organization to ensure that our students in Kwara South succeed in their academic pursuits. No cost is too steep to make this happen.”
In another development, the Executive Secretary and Chief Executive Officer of National Agricultural Land Development Authority (NALDA), Engr. Cornelius Adebayo (FNSE) recently concluded visitations to key Progressive Stakeholders across Kwara State.
The extensive tour was organised to compensate for the cancellation of the Annual Progressives Get-Together at Oke-Onigbin, the hometown of the convener, Engr. Adebayo.
The Get-Together, which was initially planned for this month, was postponed till later in the year, in honour of the victims of the recent insecurity challenges in Kwara South Senatorial District.
