A female member of the National Youth Service Corps
(NYSC), Nwania Chibundo Winifred , has donated a one million
naira library to a Lagos school as her personal community
project .
The library, modern library equipped with books and
computer, was donated to Dr. Teslim Elias Model Primary
School in Lagos Island, The Guardian reports.
At the commissioning ceremony, Winifred said she embarked
on the project based on the conviction that citizens should
do something for their country, not only the other way round.
"I began to think of how I would buy books for a school and
after our orientation camp, I did a research which revealed
that many schools in the area I was posted had no library,"
Winifred said.
"This made me to be racking my brain on how to provide
books for them; not only to provide books but also to get a
place where the books provided can be read comfortably in
an environment conducive for reading.
"This was how I came up with the idea of a library equipped
with books and computer, which is a necessary facility in a
modern library.
She revealed that the project cost nearly one million naira to
complete.
"The project was established with about N993,605 that I
sourced mainly from my sponsor," she said.
"I hope the school authority would make the best use of the
library for the pupils."
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Lagos Island Local
Government Inspector, Patience Ukpe , the Zonal Inspector,
'B' Zone, Lagos NYSC, Stella Nweke and the Education
Secretary for Lagos Island Local Government Education
Authority, Moshood Olanrewaju Maiyegun among others were
present at the commissioning.
Ukpe commended the corps member, noting that the
personal community project is one of the Corps cardinal
points.
