Life After School Founder, Abiola Fagbore Present gifts to student
Mr fagbore Abiola, the founder and convener of life after school in his statement about the need for the outreach reiterated the fact that the younger generation is exposed to a lot of value diminishing content and therefore efforts have to be made to correct them and get them prepared for life even while at a very young age. The age range of the students in mind is split between the school the those out of school and that is why they had to split the outreach between these 2 sets and try to provide them with what they need the most. He further emphasized the need for education and the fact that it remains a legacy and even when applied to entrepreneurship skills, it becomes better.
The staff, students, and every other partaker of the random programs later gave credit to the organization for coming up with those programs as they have been impacted positively and they promised to put to use everything they have been told.
