Oliver further called on other well to do Nigerians to look inward and see how they can uplift the suffering of the masses by ensuring that they build, remodel or even repair schools in local areas so as to return out of school children back to classrooms.

While appreciating the kind gesture, the founder of the school and a retired civil servant, Shalom, said she founded tge school to help take children out of the streets.
She said the school is for all, including Christians, Moslems, Hindu or even those who don’t belong to any religion and the goal is to ensure that the less privileged children have opportunities of going to school free of charge.
