Lagos Elite Lions Club, one of the clubs in Lions Clubs International, has inaugurated a renovated school clinic and a reconstructed 14-unit toilet block at Arowosegbe Nursery and Primary School, Ketu, Lagos State.

The projects were inaugurated to boost healthcare delivery and sanitation for the pupils.

The intervention covered a complete overhaul of the clinic and major upgrades to sanitation facilities within the school premises.

The club donated hospital-standard metal bed frames, mattresses, pillows, a first aid box, rechargeable fans, and window blinds for the clinic.

It also constructed a soakaway pit, repaired plumbing, fixed the pumping machine, and donated a 1,000-litre water tank to improve water supply.

The District Governor of Lions International District 404B2 Nigeria, Kemi Eribake, said the projects reflected the club’s commitment to humanitarian service.

“We serve humanity. We make our world a better place for us to live,” she said.

Eribake, therefore, urged community members to join the organisation and support its service activities.

Also, the Club’s President, Lucy Unegbu Unegbu, said the projects aimed to create a healthier and safer learning environment for children, saying: “A healthy child learns better.”

She said that access to clean sanitation and a functional school clinic would improve pupils’ wellbeing and classroom concentration.

Unegbu, therefore, urged the school, parents, and the community to maintain the facilities for long-term benefits.

She said the projects were funded through the collective efforts of club members, sponsors, and partners.

The Headmistress of the school, Aderemi Aromolaran, commended the club for the intervention and appealed for continued support.

She said the toilet block had remained unusable for about seven to eight years because of broken water closets, damaged roofing and lack of water.
