“A block of five classrooms at Ayeroju Primary school, Oworoshoki and a block of seven classrooms at Ifako Nursery and Primary School, Ifako, were renovated,’’ he said.
Sofola appealed to the school authorities to make judicious use of the facility.
He added that it was renovated in order to make academic learning conducive to the pupils and wean them from cultism and other social malaise.
Mr Segun Babatunde, the Community Development Committee (CDC) Chairman of Kosofe Local Government, commended the council chairman for the job well done.
“Sofola has done well by renovating a block of classrooms at Ayeroju Nursery and Primary School at Oworoshoki.
“He has made use of tax payers’ money judiciously.
“It makes this environment conducive for pupils to learn. When the environment is conducive, pupils will be ready to learn.
“The issue of cultism will not be in their mind; so, the council chairman has done very well,’’ he said.
The CDC chairman appealed to the teachers to make proper use of the renovated facility and protect it from being vandalised.
