The project, funded by the Japanese government under the Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Projects (GGP), was secured in 2024 following a proposal by the school head teacher, Joel Ayeni, to address congestion at the school. The six-month project includes two classroom blocks and 17 latrine stances.

It was awarded to Tukiz Construction Company Limited, Verona Foundation Limited, and Evlo Certified Public Accountants, who are responsible for construction, procurement of desks, and auditing, respectively.

Work officially commenced on February 9, 2026, after the site was handed over to Tukiz Construction Company Limited.

Progress on the project is already visible, with construction now at 60 percent. Site Engineer Musabil Odongkene said the works are on schedule and expected to be completed in May this year.

The development has been welcomed by the school administration, which says it comes at a critical time. Head teacher Joel Ayeni expressed optimism that the new infrastructure will improve both enrolment and academic performance.

Local authorities have also praised the initiative, highlighting its importance in improving education standards in the area.
