Kasim Sumaina in Abuja
A promoter of the Megastar Man of the Decade Award and the Chief Executive Officer of Megastar Media Communications, Moses Adeniyi, has commenced the construction of toilet facility at Local Education Authority Primary/Junior Secondary School, Dutse Sagwari, Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
He also donated 50 benches and tables to the school.
Speaking shortly after the project groundbreaking ceremony, Adeniyi said that the efforts align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and also demonstrate the company’s commitment to improving education and public health in underserved communities.
The philanthropist said that the construction of the toilet facility would be completed in few weeks, adding, “we are doing two key things aligned with the SDGs. Last week, we visited a school and noticed they needed better furniture for a conducive learning environment.
“Additionally, due to a recent cholera outbreak, we are constructing new toilet facilities. The groundbreaking ceremony was just held, and by God’s grace, the project will be completed in a few weeks.”
He explained that as part of the initiative, the company donated 50 benches and tables, capable of accommodating up to 200 students. “This gesture coincided with the commemoration of World Toilet Day, further highlighting the company’s commitment to public health and education.”
“Even small contributions, like providing one or two pieces of furniture, can make a big difference and I was passionate about social impact that have made me support school fees, medical bills, and housing needs,” he said.
The School Principal, Dr. Oba Usman, thanked the donor for the support, stressing that the gesture came as a pleasant surprise.
“This effort aligns perfectly with the Universal Basic Education Commission’s policy of ‘education for all is the responsibility of all.”
He also revealed plans to report the development to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) education headquarters and ensure their involvement in the inauguration of the project.
On his part, the Director of Marketing at WellsCarthon Hotel, Abuja, Mr. Jerry Opiughie pledged to cover the school fees of five indigent students.
“It’s about the school, I just need five names so that I can provide school fees for them. I don’t need the family to know me; this is just for my own contribution to the community,” he said.
