“We select schools based on the impact our intervention will bring, not just for students but for the learning environment as a whole,” Adeniyi explained. “Our interventions are anchored on pillars like education, health, community life, and environmental sustainability.” He added that the program would extend to all regions across the country, with schools in Cross River and Rivers states already identified for adoption.

Adeniyi commended the school’s outstanding academic track record and positive community impact, encouraging students to maximize the newly donated educational facilities and excel in their academic performance. “The CSR target in 2025 is to directly reach out to 50,000 students across the country with writing tools, bags, school uniforms, writing tools, erasers, sharpeners, raincoats, among other things,” he stated.

The Customs Area Controller of the Tin Can Island command, Frank Onyeka, said the corporate social responsibility project aimed to improve infrastructure and the learning environment for students and teachers. “They need to be commended for their perseverance, their zeal for learning, and their determination to overcome these kinds of conditions,” Onyeka said, praising the students and teachers. He expressed appreciation to stakeholders and the NCS leadership for their support and collaboration.
