Speaking about the initiative, Mr James Oyebode, Director of 6334Plus said, “The maiden edition of the club’s activity is the result of hard work, focus and careful planning, which is meant to evaluate and improve the reading skills of students in Nigeria.
He said, “Our programme is meant to bring out the best in every member of the club and we are committed to achieving this irrespective of the cost implications on our part. Our objective, at the end of the every session,is to contribute in no small measure to the academic performance of our club members in Nigeria.
“We are particularly encouraged by the schools that offered to present their children for the pilot scheme. We assure them of robust partnership that would yield optimal result in their offerings.
” I got I inspiration to launch this project in Nigeria having seen a similar project enjoyed by my children in the UK schools. I belief this project can also be fine tuned and introduced to Nigerian children. This is why we embarked on this project because we don’t want Nigerian children back at home to be denied of advancement in global education.
” I congratulate Semilore, our first Ambassador and I am sure she would be joined by other burgeoning Ambassors for the selection of the Royal Ambassador who would be treated with a trip Abroad later in the year.
Mr Oyebode however promised to do all in his capacity to provide logistics needed to spread the project in all the state in Nigeria.
The excited participants and the management of participating schools commended 6334Plus for the great initiative, charging the organisation to spread the programme to other students and schools.
