Over the years, Nigeria’s educational system has experienced
a steady decline in the quality of education being delivered to its student
populace. The reason is not too hard to figure out. The educational sector is
terribly underfunded. There have been
cries and protests over the current state of affairs in our schools and I am
sure that there will still be more. Education, no sorry, a SOUND education is
very key to national development both now and in the distant future. It is very
obvious that a drastic change needs to occur real fast if we hope to save the
system from total collapse.
The “UZO GOES TO SCHOOL” project is an
initiative of STRONG VOICE MEDIA headed by UZO of WazobiaFM. This project
is targeted at helping to improve both the learning and working conditions of
the pupils and teachers in government-owned schools. A lot of parents enroll
their wards in private schools for reasons such as better infrastructure, good
teachers, better learning environment and many other reasons. However, a whole
lot more parents cannot afford the fees charged by the private schools. “UZO
GOES TO SCHOOL” intends to:
- Help create a better learning environment in
government owned schools,
- Encourage the parents to be more participatory
in school activities,
- Help build better future leaders and a better
society and to
- Promote basic health care and proper hygiene
within the school environment.
The maiden edition and launch of “UZO GOES TO SCHOOL” shall
be on the 1st Dec, 2012 at
Oore Ofe Primary School, Ojo bus stop off Liasu road, Idimu-Ikotun Egbe,
Alimosho LGA, Lagos . This happens to
be the primary school I attended and as the saying goes, “Charity begins at
home”.
Uzo had
earlier gone to the school to make enquiries about what the needs of the school
are. The school definitely needs more! Listed below are the items needed for
the Launch / flag-off of the project:
Marker boards and
markers, Furniture(Tables and chairs for both teachers and pupils), Toilet
renovation(Tiles, Paint, Toilet seats, etc), Water supply(Water pump for the
well) and Electricity , First Aid box, Drugs and toiletries.
Names of donors will constantly be updated on my blog and
other social network media. To achieve the aims of this project, I and the
members of my team arrived at a costing of five hundred thousand naira (N500, 000). After the maiden
edition, “UZO GOES TO SCHOOL” intends to visit and rehabilitate two
public schools every year in the same manner.
Adequate documentation and an update of fund dispensation and work progress shall be made available to members of the public on my blog and other social network media (twitter and face book). At the launching, there will be an unveiling of the work done so far before members of the general public. You are all invited!
On a final note, we can't do this alone. we
need your support in every way possible (morally, physically, spiritually and
most of all, financially)! we
know that times are hard, but please give whatever you can to help make a
difference in the lives of the little ones we call our future. God Almighty
will surely bless you as you do so. Thank you!
