Kicking off on the 16th of August, 2023, with an interfaith prayer session uniting Christians and Muslims at the architectural edifice of Ilara, the unveiling of these classroom blocks underscores the unwavering dedication of multiple stakeholders to advance education in the community.

This partnership signifies our collective determination to provide quality education for our children. The best is yet to come in Ilara. Very soon, other impactful projects being facilitated by the duo of Rep. Wale Raji and Sen. Tokunbo Abiru who are representing us in the National Assembly will be commissioned. This is just the beginning, I promise,” remarked the Alara of Ilara Kingdom.
