AN alumna of the International School, University of Lagos (ISL), Mrs Idowu Offokansi, has donated copies of her book, “Can Do” to her alma mater.
Mrs Offokansi, who delivered the books through her mother, a former principal of the school, Mrs. Olusola Peters, said she donated the audio visual book, which is a collection of inspirational quotes for teenagers and young adults, because of her passion for helping the youths.
Receiving the donations at UNILAG Main Auditorium, Principal of ISL, Mrs Adora Emily Ojo, urged parents and guardians not to abandon their responsibilities to teachers and the society alone, but complement their efforts through regular visits to their schools.
This, she said, would stimulate their efforts and mould their wards’ future to enviable heights.
Mrs Ojo also tasked those in authority to increase investments in the education sector in order to create level playing ground for sound education and regular, functional counselling, which would fast-track the realisation of the children’s objectives as future leaders.
On her part, Mrs Peters charged the pupils to pursue their careers with zeal, mindless of whatever challenges, as “no gain is achieved, without pain.”
SS 2 pupil, Chisom Oguama and her classmate, Oladipo Oduwole, thanked God and the donor and assured them of their continued best to be disciplined and excel in all ramifications.
