Faisalia Islamic Arabic School, in the Yendi Municipality of the Northern Region, has received an Ultra-modern Information and Communication Technology (ICT) facility to aid teaching and learning with the ultimate aim of talent development.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Insaan Company Limited, Alhaji Osman Musah, in a bid to ensure that many children in the Yendi Municipality gain access to education, constructed the facility for his former school.
The multipurpose facility which has an ICT centre, a library, a teachers’ staff common room and a headmaster’s office is to improve the infrastructure deficit situation in the school which has been a challenge to effective result-driven teaching and learning.
In an era of technology and digitalization, the investment is expected to provide hands-on practical experience that will drive interest among the children and unearth talents.
The gesture forms part of Alhaji Musah’s philanthropic works towards the development of his native town, Yendi and is expected to directly benefit over 400 students in the Yendi Municipality and its environs yearly.
Speaking to the media, Alhaji Musah expressed his excitement to be able to identify the needs of his alma mater and native community and help to provide the needs in fulfilment of his dream to improve education in a way that was meaningful and sustainable.
He added that the gesture was a demonstration of his Company’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and tasked both the teachers and the pupils of the school to adopt a maintenance culture to preserve the facility.
The headmaster of the school, Alidu Ahmed Arimiyaw, expressed gratitude to Insaan Company Limited for the new facility which he described as a game-changer for teaching and learning in the school.
He said the provision of the new block would help to motivate students to work harder to achieve excellent results and increase admissions as well as progression to the second cycle level.
On his part, the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of Yendi, Alhaji Ahmed Yussuf Abubakar, thanked Alhaji Musah and his company assuring the municipality’s commitment to ensuring the facility is maintained in good shape for the benefit of generations.
The commissioning ceremony was also graced by Alhaji Shani, Afa Sualisu, Alhaji Alhassan O.B, Chief Sab-Naa King Hassan, Alhaji Mutaru, Mallam Baba Suaib and Sheikh Zakaria, family members of Alhaji Musah and Founder of the School.
The Faisalia Islamic School project was undertaken at the request of the old students of the school and the community of Alhaji Musah. He readily agreed to support as education is one of the three focus areas of Insaan Company’s Corporate Social Responsibility.
