The Mogaji of Ile Nla, Chief Olajuwon Subair-Adelokun, has officially launched a free Nursery and Primary School for children in the underserved areas of interior Ibadan. This bold initiative is part of the Anlugbua Ibadan Compound School project, an educational endeavor spearheaded by The Subair Adelokun Foundation.
Located in the heart of Ile Nla, this school aims to provide quality education to children from low-income families, particularly those in communities often overlooked by government interventions. The initiative represents a significant effort to bridge the educational gap within Ibadan’s Agboles, where access to proper schooling has been a persistent challenge.
Speaking on the launch, Mogaji Olajuwon Subair Adelokun highlighted the foundation’s commitment to community upliftment, stating, “Education is the cornerstone of progress. We cannot build the future we desire if our children remain uneducated. This initiative is a way to ensure that every child, regardless of background, has the opportunity to succeed.”
The Subair Adelokun Foundation, known for its dedication to the development of Ibadan’s hinterlands, has been actively involved in various programs that enhance educational access and community well-being. The Anlugbua Ibadan Compound School Initiative is the latest in a series of projects aimed at transforming the lives of young people by creating an inclusive environment where learning thrives.
In addition to providing free education, the foundation has ensured that the school is fully equipped with necessary learning materials, modern classrooms, and trained teachers. The partnership with local leaders, including the school’s staff and surrounding community, ensures a sustainable model that will support the ongoing development of the children.
The school is expected to cater to hundreds of children in Labiran and its neighboring areas, significantly improving the literacy and educational attainment in the community.
This initiative is a key milestone in The Subair Adelokun Foundation’s broader vision of increasing access to education for children in Ibadan’s underserved areas and aligns with the foundation’s efforts to achieve seven of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The foundation continues to demonstrate that strategic partnerships and targeted interventions can make a lasting impact on communities in need.
The Mogaji’s leadership in launching this school marks a new chapter of hope for the children of Ile Nla and a step towards a brighter future for the entire Agbole community.
