Lafarge Africa just finished renovating a school in Agbesi, Ewekoro, Ogun State, and they went pretty hard on the upgrades. The company fixed up five classroom blocks, expanded the head teacher's office, and built new dining halls and bathrooms. They also threw in a playground and a football field for the kids.
The CEO, Lolu Alade-Akinyemi, said the whole thing was about making education better in communities where they operate. Professor Abayomi Arigbabu, who runs education stuff for Ogun State, showed up to the opening and praised the work, saying it matched what the state government was trying to do with school rehab projects.
Lafarge also donated 2,000 math textbooks to help students prep for their exams. The students were apparently hyped about the renovations and even wrote a song for the company.
