Akinseye
The Founder, Arise Foundation for Women, Youth and Family, Mrs. Joke Akinseye said empowering the youth acts as a potential to accelerate economic growth and continue the development of a nation.
She said this at the unveiling of a primary and secondary school built by the oragnisation in collaboration with friends for less privileged children in Mowe, Obafemi-Owode, Ogun State.
Akinseye said the three blocks of classrooms, a playing ground, laboratory, library, staff room and principal office were constructed because she believes in the power of education to end poverty. x
She added that it was the reason her Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) worked with her friends to give the children the education they need and fight the inequalities that stand in their way, especially the girl-child.
