 The Tutor-General of the State Education District 1, Bashir Adebowale, commended RCCG for selecting Vetland School for the donation, noting the government's vision to transform public schools into models for others in the country. 

The school’s principal, Latunde Dada, also expressed her gratitude, stating, “What they have done today is a continuation of what the state government is doing to education in Lagos State. The RCCG refurbished the school’s computer laboratory. They also donated five other desktop computers to the laboratory. Before now, the school has been using interactive boards to teach the students. And if that board is connected to the Internet, it will produce any instructional material that is needed for learning. The renovation and addition of desktop computers will enable the students to gain more technology knowledge.”
