We have done tree planting, which has impacted students through reading culture from textbooks.  We did this for 36 schools and the students were also counselled.  
       
“We also went to secondary schools for career counselling and 27 schools were gathered at Government College, Agege, who were talked to by lawyers, accountants and architects, among others and the exercise was very impactful. Two students among them, a boy and a girl were given scholarships under our Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA) for answering questions correctly.
      
“We still have a lot to do, including conflict resolution,” he said.

He added that he was sure that the exercise would make them re-think and become good citizens while their parents too would be happy and the society would be better.
      
He said that the project would be a continuous one as his successor would continue wherever he stops.
