The management of Westerfield College has commissioned its Victoria Island campus, a project which represents improvement and growth to the institution, which started 11 years ago.

According to the school, this has helped it achieve part of the goals set out to help young people access some of the best universities in the world, having trained them in Nigeria judiciously to succeed when they get to these universities.

Speaking in Lagos, at the official opening of the facilities, the Chief Executive Officer, Westerfield College, Micheal Dosunmu, said it gives them a far bigger room to engage and interact with a wider pool of students.

He noted that the newly commissioned campus was seven times bigger than their Yaba campus.

“Our goal at Westerfield is to create an environment where the kids are trained to be good ambassadors of Nigeria, which represent people whose country you want to interact with or engage with,” he said.

On how they were able to attract the investment for the project, he remarked that necessary policy must be put in place to attract investors in the sector.

Representing the chairman of the day and Vice President Yemi Osibanjo, Dapo Akinosun, said the environment represented a serene atmosphere where those seeking western education can leverage.

“The school creates an atmosphere for those of us who send our children abroad or plan to send them to school anywhere in the world. This kind of environment is great enough to give them what they will experience anywhere in the world,” he noted. “This is certainly a world-class facility, and I believe that every child who passes through here will definitely be better.”
