As part of its efforts, aimed at boosting education, across the country, Stanbic IBTC has announced the unveil of an extensive renovation of Ibeku High School in Umuahia, Abia State, marking another milestone in its nationwide Adopt-A-School initiative.

 

 

The comprehensive upgrade has transformed the learning environment for 720 students and 52 teachers; bringing modern educational resources to the community.

 

 

At the heart of the renovation is a modern computer laboratory equipped with 20 advanced computer systems and 25 workstations; positioning students to develop crucial digital skills for the modern workplace.

 

 

Other  extensive improvements carried out, include: five renovated classrooms furnished with new furniture; ensuring students enjoy a comfortable and conducive learning environment; a newly-constructed multipurpose hall, adding versatility to the school’s facilities, thereby providing space for assemblies, school events, and various educational activities.

 

 

 Staff facilities have also received significant attention, with both the guidance counsellor’s office and staffroom undergoing complete makeovers to create professional working spaces for educators.

 

 

The initiative also demonstrates environmental consciousness with the strategic planting of 100 trees across the school grounds, creating shade and improving the overall campus atmosphere.

 

 

Acting Chief Executive, Stanbic IBTC Holdings, Kunle Adedeji emphasised the organisation’s commitment to long-term educational development.

 

 

“The Adopt-A-School initiative remains a significant part of our broader mission to foster sustainable growth and development in Nigeria. We are dedicated to creating an environment where children can learn and thrive,” he stated.
