The African Natural Resources and Mines Limited (ANRML) has built a block of three units of classrooms at the Government Secondary School, Gujeni, a community in Kagarko Local Government of Kaduna State, near Abuja.

The Vice Chairman of Kagarko LGA, Titus Musa, who commissioned the project on Thursday at Gujeni, said the building and furnishing of the classrooms and staff room will help improve the learning environment for the students and teachers.

In his remarks, His Royal Highness, Engineer Bitrus James, said, “When there is a conducive environment our children will learn better. ANRML has done well, and we trust that as time goes on, they will do better to ensure we have a conducive environment.”

The Chairman of the state Senior Secondary Education Board, Dr. Suwaiba Ibrahim, said, “By building these classrooms, the company has shown that it is on board with the drive of educational development in the state. We really appreciate this project, and it is not just the building but a commitment to the development of the children. We are happy with what the company has done.”

The Village Head of Gujeni community, Mr. Dogara Wakili, appreciated the ANRML management for the facilities, well furnished with desks and tables for conducive learning.

The principal of the school, Mr. Musa Danjuma Jasper, said it was built in 2008 and some of the structures are now dilapidated. “The building of these classrooms and staff room by ANRML has given us better infrastructure and will help to transform the school. We know it is part of their Community Development Service, but we appreciate them for this,” he said.

One of the students, Vivian Matthew, appreciated the gesture.

While presenting the key of the classrooms to the principal of the school, the CEO, ANRML, Mr. Narasimha Nayak, prayed that the school will be a beacon of hope and opportunity for the future of the Gujeni community.

The African Natural Resources and Mines Limited, a group company of the African Industries Group (AIG), promotes and encourages economic and social development within communities in Nigeria.

In Gujeni, where ANRML is established, the company, among other Corporate Social Responsibility projects, has provided boreholes, overhead tanks, transformers, medicines, and health check-ups for the community.
