A host of Nollywood stars have recently been appointed as United Nations Habitat Envoys. One of them, Ini Edo has already hit the ground rolling in her new portfolio with plans to build a new school at Dustbin Estate in Ajegunle, Nigeria. Citing reasons for her immediate action, Ini Edo highlighted the regrettable plight of people currently living in the estate.

“The living condition in this place is bad enough but the schools there are worse; I had to climb into a class through the window. The classrooms are tattered, there are no toilets, blackboard or good seats; more so, what would you make of a school where children pay N20 per day as school fees. I never thought a place like that exists in Nigeria; this should not be encouraged to continue. Every Nigerian child has a right to quality education wherever the child lives in. For me the way forward for children in the Dustbin Estate is quality education; a person who is educated is empowered with a choice to a better life, so I am going to do all within my power to ensure that children in the Dustbin Estate have a quality school to themselves,” she stated.
