The Association of Mass Communication Students (AMACOS), Class of ’95 of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, has donated N1,020,000 to St. John’s Primary School as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative.
The donation is aimed at improving basic education and creating a more conducive learning environment for pupils, whom members described as the “leaders of tomorrow.”
The intervention formed part of activities marking the association’s 30th post-graduation anniversary, celebrated in October 2025.
Earlier during the anniversary, members visited the school and donated educational materials, including school bags and books valued at over N500,000. However, following an assessment of the pupils’ living conditions, the association, led by its President, Percy Ademokun, pledged additional support in the form of school uniforms and sandals for each pupil.
The N1.02 million donation was subsequently raised through contributions from individual members and chapters of the association to fund the project.
Receiving the donation, the Headmistress of the school, Sobowale Omotunde Folake, commended the association for its compassion and commitment to education. She assured that the funds would be judiciously utilised, noting that “children are like flowers that must be nurtured to blossom.”
Beyond the primary school intervention, AMACOS ’95 also executed projects at its alma mater, Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, where it refurbished the Mass Communication Department’s broadcast studio and newsroom with modern equipment.
Additional interventions at the institution include the installation of a solar power system to ensure uninterrupted electricity supply, provision of a multimedia projector for lectures and presentations, and installation of a Wi-Fi router with internet subscription secured until July 2026.
According to the association’s executive, the initiatives underscore its commitment to giving back to both its alma mater and the wider community, with a focus on fostering a better future for all.
