Stanbic IBTC has made a significant contribution to education in Abia State by unveiling a comprehensive renovation of Ibeku High School in Umuahia.
This project is part of the company’s nationwide Adopt-A-School initiative, which aims to revolutionize educational facilities across Nigeria. The renovation has transformed the learning environment for 720 students and 52 teachers, providing them with modern educational resources.
At the heart of the renovation is a state-of-the-art computer laboratory equipped with 20 advanced computer systems and 25 workstations.
This will enable students to develop essential digital skills required for the modern workplace. Additionally, five classrooms have been renovated and furnished with new furniture, ensuring a comfortable and conducive learning environment. A newly constructed multipurpose hall provides a versatile space for assemblies, school events, and various educational activities.
The staff facilities have also been upgraded, with the guidance counsellor’s office and staff room undergoing complete makeovers to create professional working spaces for educators.
Furthermore, 100 trees have been planted across the school grounds, creating shade and improving the overall campus atmosphere.
Kunle Adedeji, Acting Chief Executive of Stanbic IBTC Holdings, emphasized the organization’s commitment to long-term educational development. “The Adopt-A-School initiative is a significant part of our broader mission to foster sustainable growth and development in Nigeria. We are dedicated to creating an environment where children can learn and thrive.”
This project is the latest in a series of successful renovations completed by Stanbic IBTC across the country. The company’s dedication to fostering educational excellence and creating lasting impact in communities across Nigeria is evident in each project.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by distinguished dignitaries and community leaders, highlighting the collaborative effort between the private sector and local communities in advancing educational development.
