Waooo this is really massive.

To some people it doesn't matter if you don't build any school for 8 years, but they will have something bad to say about this

Nationsdaddy:
I attended unity secondary school;one of schools in tolu complex. Unity secondary schools happens to be the oldest among about 16 secondary schools in the complex. Tolu complex was built by Lateef Jakande in the 80's. These government schools were built for those that cant afford expensive schools.

Focusing on the first E in our THEMES+ agenda, which is Education and Technology, the Tolu Schools Complex in Ajegunle sits on nearly 12 hectares and serves about 20,000 students across 36 schools, both primary and secondary.

Before the upgrade, many of the buildings were in poor condition. Today, the entire complex has been rebuilt and expanded, marking its most significant transformation since it was established over 40 years ago.

New classroom blocks have been added to reduce overcrowding. The facilities now include a football pitch, sports courts, a health centre, a fire station, and essential services like solar power and improved water systems.

There is also a clear focus on inclusion. Dedicated buildings for students with disabilities have been introduced, along with lifts to make movement easier within the complex. A vocational centre is now in place, offering training in practical skills such as tailoring, plumbing, and masonry.

With an ICT hub and a central laboratory, students are better positioned to engage with science and technology in a more hands-on way.

Overall, the project creates a more supportive and functional learning environment for a densely populated community.

Wow! The biggest in the world.

datola:
Let's stop the bragging of "it is the biggest in Nigeria/Africa...." rehotoric.

The best schools in the world are not by size.

The school is big and beautiful. Fine.

The adminsitrators should ensure standard is maintained.

Stop deceiving people. Babablue had nothing to do with that school complex.

I played ball there as a child and I was not the first. Jude Igahalo went there to school everyday of his secondary school life before football on

Emmanuel Amunneke

Tolu, the headquarters of good boys and girls. Interestingly 4 of my cousins went to this complex. Weeds, prostitution, creativity, football, bankers, doctors, engineers at its peak.

Kushites:
30 schools in one complex. THAT'S IMPRESSIVE.

This is what we call VISIONARY LEADERSHIP.

Peter Obi take note. 📝

Because I heard you didn't build even half school as governor of Anambra state.

Only Breweries everywhere. Plus million pounds house in London.

Be cautioned, you this man.

Klington:
Big for nothing. Tinubu cannot produce any meaningful project.
