Junior Achievement Nigeria (JAN)

I began my National Youth Service (NSYC) in Cross-River Sate and the first thing I noticed at my school was that the pupils; especially the public school pupils, usually went to school without sandals, books in hand, torn uniforms and in worked in environments not conducive for learning. I had to do something about it. Bearing in mind that I might not be able to reach every child who needs a better school kit or classroom,  I still believed it was better to do little than to do nothing. I went ahead to share my intentions with my Local Government Inspector who advised i focus on one school. Having searched through some parts of the city, I decided to adopt Army Day Primary School II. There was a heavy downpour of rain the first day I visited the school, and the pupils in the kindergarten were perched on their chairs and tables because their classroom flooded due to the leaking roof. The Head teacher's office was not exempt, as she had bowls lined up to retain the heavy downpour ...

  After a very productive day, participants had the chance to unwind with a well deserved movie night at the Palms. They had the entire movie theatre to themselves, and it's safe to say they had a nice evening.    

Lagos Business School is undoubtedly one of the most tranquil learning environments in Nigeria. LBS could easily be mistaken for a Fine Art's institute with the architectural detail and artwork all over the campus.
