Social Responsibility: School Repairs 2 Kilometre Road in Osogbo

As part of the community development service and social responsibility, a private school in Osogbo, Kunike International School on Monday embarked on repair of two kilometre road along Osogbo Ilesa road.

Students of the school were seen in their tens as early as 7:am,  filing several portholes and bad portions on the roads  with different construction equipment and gravel.

The proprietress of the school, Mrs Adekunle Olanike in an interview with news men said the repair work is a community service as part of corporate social responsibility of the school to its community.

She further explained that the community service was also a strategic way of instilling community service in the students to make them patriotic and responsible citizens thereafter.

According to her, the school has a standing philosophy of building future leaders through the culture of selflessness, and hard work.

” Kunike is not another school out there, but it’s a peculiar school, raising peculiar treasures , that will emerge as Peculiar Global Leaders.

“The students are being trained to become servant leaders through community service; they are also being trained to learn how to give back to the communities where they belong.

“We are making them to be conscious of the fact that citizens have major role to play in nation-building outside the government.

“We are also teaching them the tenets of economic diversification, which informed the acquisition of about six hectares of land by the school, where students are involved in practical farming.

“This is another effort to make the students understand that farming is a potential economic hub for the country, and   not a profession for the poor and uneducated members of the society,” she said.

It should be recalled that the school, in collaboration with Delta School District in Vancouver, Canada had on May this year gave full scholarship to the first two Chibok girls rescued from the captivity of the Boko Haram, Amina Alli, and Serah Luka
