A Philanthropist and educationist, Dr. Olakunle Oladehin, has empowered his alma mater, Adeniyi Jones Primary School, with technology tools and promised to make the school conducive for learning.

Oladehin gave the assurance at his 50th birthday celebration in Lagos.

He provided computer sets with Spectranet for Internet access to the school.

He also built a solar panel with two portable inverter batteries with access to electricity supply in all classrooms and drilled a borehole to supply water to the school.

Speaking on the reason behind the donation, Oladehin said education must be given the biggest priority, as its impact on development cannot be measured.

Going down memory lane, the educationist said his parents withdrew him from private school to attend public school in the early 80s because of the standard and quality of education in public school.

He, however, lamented that this has changed, as public schools cannot measure up to those of their counterparts in the private sector.

Oladehin urged individuals to always give back to their alma mater and not wait for the government before they uplift their schools.

He pledged to ensure the school is equipped with all necessary tools for advanced learning.

“I want to make Adeniyi Jones Primary School a model and tech hub, where IT professionals are created.

“The motivating force for me is the results we are able to get, the number of children we are able to bring out of poverty, simply by giving them the required skills to survive out there.

“In the next 20 or 30 years, the world will be a different place. Learning will be different, and all will be driven by technology. The earlier we begin to grab this opportunity, the better for us.

“My hope for the future is to see every child get access to qualitative education services in a conducive environment,” he said.
