Education is an absolutely necessary precondition of economic development.
An investment in education is an investment in the future of a generation.
October 22nd 2015 will remain a day to remember for Progress and 7th Avenue Nursery and Primary Schools, Festac Town, Lagos, as they became the beneficiaries of the 2nd phase of the "Better Life Through Education" project initiated by Save Our Needy (SON).
New desks and chairs were donated to these low-income schools to improve learning conditions of the pupils.
