‎Education in the oil-producing areas of Ondo State has received a boost following the donation of 1,000 customised exercise books to pupils in schools within the mandate areas of the Ondo State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (OSOPADEC).
‎
‎The donation was made by Taiwo Gbamila as part of efforts to support learning and provide pupils with essential educational materials.
‎
‎Gbamila made the donation during a visit by the Coastal Renaissance News team to the OSOPADEC Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Prince Olabiyomi Poroye.
‎
‎The initiative, themed around supporting children to “dream, learn and thrive,” is aimed at complementing efforts to improve education and the welfare of children living in the coastal communities.
‎
‎The customised exercise books are expected to assist pupils in their day-to-day school activities while also promoting awareness of the importance of education among children in the mandate areas.
‎
‎The gesture highlights the importance of collaboration between individuals, organisations and government agencies in addressing educational needs and creating better opportunities for children in the coastal communities.
‎
‎Receiving the team, Poroye welcomed initiatives aimed at improving the wellbeing and development of people in the commission’s mandate areas, with education remaining a key area in building a better future for the younger generation.
