Stanbic IBTC Holdings has renovated Alegbo Primary School in Delta State, as part of its Adopt-A-School initiative, marking another milestone in the financial institution’s steadfast commitment to educational excellence across Nigeria. 

The comprehensive renovation and expansion project represents a holistic approach to educational development, addressing critical infrastructure needs while creating an environment that enables quality learning. 

The transformative initiative encompassed an extensive scope of work designed to elevate the standard of education at rural primary schools. 

The project included the complete renovation of a three-classroom block. Each of the renovated classrooms received brand-new furniture designed to accommodate 40 students per class, with 20 carefully selected desks and chairs to enhance the learning experience. These upgrades will benefit more than 581 students and staff members. 

Kunle Adedeji, Acting Chief Executive, Stanbic IBTC Holdings, emphasised the project’s commitment to enhancing education in Nigeria. 

“This project represents our deep-seated belief in the transformative power of education and our commitment to nurturing the next generation of Nigerian leaders. By providing comprehensive infrastructure that addresses multiple aspects of the educational environment, we are not just building classrooms – we are building futures and empowering communities to thrive.” 

Bunmi Dayo -Olagunju, Deputy Chief Executive, Stanbic IBTC Bank, highlighted that the success at Alegbo Primary School demonstrates the need for quality education through a blend of infrastructure, technology, and environmental awareness. 

“Our approach to educational philanthropy goes beyond mere infrastructure provision – we believe in creating holistic learning environments that inspire excellence and foster innovation. The success of this project at Alegbo Primary School reflects our understanding that quality education requires a combination of proper infrastructure, technology integration, and environmental consciousness.”
