Mrs Adetoun with gladness expressed her appreciation to Hon. Raji and all who supported to bring the project to fruition, revealing their initial challenges.

“I don’t know how to show my appreciation because when I got here and noticed there were just six classrooms and have nine streams of classes and for some, we have ‘A’ and ‘B’. We joined three classes together which wasn’t so good and I have to move some of the classes into my office,” she said.

“When the building project started, I couldn’t contain my joy and when it was finished, I just gave glory to God. I want to say thank you to all that have ensured this project became a success. On behalf of the teachers, the pupils and the community, we say thank you. God bless Hon Wale Raji and God bless you all.”
