Speaking at Kuramo Secondary School, on Wednesday 30th October, 2019, Dr. Jide Akeredolu, said, “Today, the Rotary Club of Lekki Golden has formed four charters of young Rotary clubs in the four schools to groom, interact and be responsible law-abiding citizens.”

“They have four presidents who will be groomed on the ideals, virtues of the Rotary Club and to take up leadership responsibilities of their schools and future endeavour,” he added.

Akeredolu said the induction would give the pupils powers to start community development projects from their schools.

They included four magnetic white boards, desk and chairs, upgrade of the staff room for Victoria Island Junior Secondary School; donation of 5.5KVA generator for Victoria Island Senior Secondary School; renovation and upgrading of two blocks of classrooms as well as donations of seven white boards, one notice board, and a Nigerian flag to Kuramo Junior Secondary School; and donation of English, mathematics, chemistry and physics textbooks and work-book for Kuramo Senior secondary.
