The co-founder of the Network Against Corruption and Trafficking, NACAT, Fejiro Oliver Samson, has called on well-meaning Nigerians to consider uplifting the educational standards for underprivileged and special-needs children within society.
He asked well-meaning Nigerians to look within the slums, pick up dilapidated schools that have been abandoned and transform it into a healthy learning environment.
Fejiro, who is also the Chief Executive Officer of Excella B Group, stated this in Lugbe, Abuja.
He said it was important to uplift the educational standards for underprivileged and special-needs children within the community.
Speaking, Fejiro highlighted the transformative power of education, stating, “The only way for a child to succeed is through education, and it starts with a conducive environment.”
He added people in privileged positions should provide children in disadvantaged areas with the same quality of educational infrastructure as children studying abroad.
“There’s no way a child can succeed without education. The mandate is simple. Look for the best schools in Europe and America. The schools I’ll be proud of for my kids to attend. That they can sit and learn without any hindrance, without any challenge.
“Go to the slumps, pick out one of such schools and refurbish it. Every well-meaning Nigeria, go to the slums, not the city and renovate it. It will be a challenge to everyone that has the means.”
