Agbeyewa Adopts Community School in Ipao-Ekiti, Sponsors Pupils’ Education.

In celebration of International Women’s Month, Agbeyewa Farms has adopted Covenant Nursery & Primary School in Ipao-Ekiti, sponsoring the school fees of top-performing pupils across various classes. The initiative, inspired and implemented by the Agbeyewa Queens – a forum of female staff within the organization , and in collaboration with the Directorate of Community Engagement -reflects Agbeyewa’s commitment to supporting education in its host communities and contributing to the global Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 on Quality Education.

The outreach was led by the Vice President, Operations (VPO), Anthonia Attoh, who noted that the initiative aligns with Agbeyewa’s broader commitment to community development and youth empowerment. She explained that the program was conceived by the Agbeyewa Queens as part of activities marking International Women’s Month, with the aim of making a meaningful difference in the lives of children within the community where the company operates. According to her, the sponsorship of outstanding pupils demonstrates how corporate and employee-driven initiatives can create lasting impact in local communities.

VPO Attoh further explained that the outreach was inspired by the theme of this year’s International Women’s Day, “Give to Gain,” emphasizing that the women of Agbeyewa chose to translate the theme into practical action by investing in the future of young children. By supporting the education of exceptional pupils for the academic year, she said Agbeyewa is not only rewarding academic excellence but also helping reduce barriers that may hinder access to quality education.

Also speaking at the event, the Director of Community Engagement at Agbeyewa Farms, Alhaji Dauda Lawal, commended the initiative and reaffirmed the company’s commitment to fostering sustainable development within its host communities. He described the outreach as a reflection of Agbeyewa’s people-centered approach to community engagement, noting that investing in education remains one of the most effective ways to build stronger and more prosperous communities.

The proprietress of Covenant Nursery & Primary School, Mrs. Fayomi Janet Motunrayo, expressed deep appreciation for the gesture, describing it as both generous and impactful. She noted that the school, which began on September 16, 2016 with just 15 pupils and two teachers, has grown to about 187 pupils and 13 teachers. 

According to her, the intervention will greatly benefit the pupils and their families while encouraging the children to remain committed to their education.
