LAST SEASON AT FIFTH CHUKKER
CHILDREN’S DAY Ecstatic local pupils savour a foretaste experience of their new mega primary school in a children’s day surprise
It was a unique and sentimental milestone when the 2021 children’s day diverged from the playground to the classroom as pupils and teachers of Maraban-jos primary school descended on their new mega school campus for a symbolic mock opening session with the Wife of the Governor of Kaduna state Hajia Ummi el Ruffai. Speaking to newsmen, Fifth Chukker founder Adamu Atta who curated the event recounted: “About 15 years ago I was approached by the school to help them build a fence to stem the nuisance of increasing encroachment and insecurity. When I went to inspect the school I decided to adopt it as part of our social responsibility to the community.We then created a partnership with Access Bank and UNICEF and immediately mobilized to not only fence the premises but go further and address the immediate infrastructural needs of the school. So we went on to refurbish the classrooms, provide furniture, build new computer laboratory and toilet facilities. To ensure that the curriculum is adequately imparted we also sponsored the headmaster and teaching staff to several capacity development clinics.”
