According to her, one of the ways the nation’s problems can be tackled is by going back to the root.
“We must cease discussing theories and wade into the fray. It has been said that the ‘leadership of any society is a representative sample of that society.’ In essence, our community is a microcosm of the country. If we want a Nigeria with a bright future, it starts now. It starts with the youths; it starts with ensuring that they are well equipped to be visionary and thought leaders,” Adeleye said.
The Head Teacher, Amodu Olatunji, thanked the company for the support and the initiative.
