Prof. Olali

Thank you, King Koko, for your generous donation of 100 exquisite modern learning chairs to the ancient St. Lukes Primary School in Nembe. The children had to sit on the floor to learn, making it extremely challenging for the young students. You have greatly improved the learning environment by providing comfort and dignity to our children.
