The Ikeja Dynamic Lions Club, part of Lions Clubs International in Lagos, has emphasized the need for collaboration among stakeholders to enhance educational quality for pupils amid Nigeria's economic challenges. This call to action came during a recent event where the club distributed essential learning materials to students at St. Peters Anglican Primary School and Adeniyi Jones Primary School in Ikeja, Lagos State.
Lion Adeola Boluogun, President of the Ikeja Dynamic Lions Club, highlighted the organization’s commitment to alleviating the financial burdens on families during the “Back to School Project,” launched in commemoration of International Literacy Day, celebrated annually on September 8. The initiative aims to raise awareness about literacy challenges faced both locally and globally.
During the event, students received various educational materials, including exercise books, textbooks, pens, pencils, and mathematical sets. Boluogun noted that the club had previously distributed free school uniforms and bags to government-owned primary schools in the area, demonstrating their ongoing support for the community.
“Our club's primary goal is service to humanity, and our motto reflects our commitment to creating a lasting impact,” said Boluogun. “By supporting public schools, we aim to reach children from less privileged backgrounds, ensuring they feel valued and equipped for their education.”
Boluogun also urged civil society organizations, affluent individuals, and stakeholders to contribute resources, stressing that the government alone cannot address these educational needs. “Parents need help, and we invite everyone to join us in this crucial mission,” he added.
Students expressed their gratitude for the donations. Grace Alonge, one of the pupils, remarked, “This will go a long way in assisting us with our studies. We appreciate the writing materials, and I pray God will continue to bless them.”
