Ambassador (Dr) Babatunde Adeyemo, Managing Director and CEO of Pelican Valley Nigeria Limited, has made a passionate appeal to well-meaning Nigerians to support the development of Nigeria Police Children Schools across the country. 

This call to action aims to create a conducive learning environment for the children of police personnel, thereby motivating them to excel in their critical role of securing lives and property.

Speaking as the Chairman of the Police Children School Eleweran’s end-of-year ceremony, Adeyemo emphasized the importance of supporting the police force, who are instrumental in maintaining national security.

He urged parents, educators, governments, and policymakers to focus on instilling the right attitudes and characters in children from a young age, to build a better and more secure future for Nigeria.

“By supporting the development of Police Children’s Schools, we can empower the next generation of leaders and change the narrative about our country. Let us join forces to create a brighter tomorrow for Nigeria.”

Speaking from his personal life experience, the frontline real estate entrepreneur said it is necessary to inculcate in the young minds that despite the seemingly daunting challenges, it’s still quite possible to succeed here in Nigeria without engaging in sharp practices, cutting corners, or traveling out – Japa.

He said, “I always like to use every available opportunity to let the average Nigerian youth know that one can make it here in this country without engaging in sharp practices and without having bad records. It is very very possible. Although, the situation in our country is making a good number of our youths to be discouraged”.

“They believe that they can’t make it unless they travel out of the country or cut corners but coming to this gathering, I want to use my life experience to motivate and encourage the young ones because I believe it is better we motivate them in their formative years of age – when they are between 0 and 9 years, when they learn faster than at any other point in time. It is the time children experience rapid intellectual, social, emotional, and physical development. It is a time when the curiosity to know and explore their environment is sharper. And I believe we have begun to change the narrative and to the Glory of God, everything will become positive by God’s will”

“Coming to this Police Children’s School graduation ceremony is highly symbolic in the sense that policing is an integral part of Nigeria’s pillars of stability, peace, and harmony. It is critical to our country’s continued existence because, without the security of lives and property, there is no way progress and development can take place in any country. And these are some of the children of those people dedicating their lives towards keeping the country safe.

“So, it is important and morally justifiable to encourage them for the overall development of this kind of school. I’m also using this opportunity to appeal to every well-meaning Nigerian to collaborate with people like these and this kind of institution, police schools, and military schools. This will sound like a kind of motivation towards encouraging the average police personnel and other security personnel to put in their best to the development and growth of the safety of lives and property in our country. Today is not a day of long speech but to celebrate with our kids and look at what best we can do to encourage the upgrading of this noble institution.”

Adeyemo, therefore, supported the school with a donation to support the school and pledged to provide school bags to a dozen of the pupils who partook in the cultural dance performances.

Speaking earlier, the Head Teacher, Mrs Oluwa Modinat Folashade, said the occasion was meant to award excellence to pupils who have performed creditably well and to bid farewell to senior learners leaving for secondary schools.

It was also a time to move the Nursery class two learners forward officially to another phase in their educational career.
