My passion for quality education delivery motivated me to implement six education-support programmes as personal and voluntary community development projects during my national youth service in Kano state, Nigeria. The projects ranged from free extramural classes; academic, career and mentor-ship seminars; acquisition and free distribution of learning materials, and weekly education and career counseling radio and television programme. The six projects addressed the poor commitments of high (secondary) school students to education due to their poor orientation of its potential impacts towards building bright future. Despite several security constraints due to the Boko Haram insurgencies in the state, the initiatives had about 800 student beneficiaries apart from the innumerable indirect beneficiaries of the weekly radio and television outreaches of the initiatives. I hope to replicate these round the country.

PERSONAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS (2014) EXECUTED IN KANO STATE, NIGERIA BY ADEDOYIN
ADEBODUN, ADELEKE
The inadequacy of staff strength in government-owned schools made me volunteer to teach S.S.S. 3 students Mathematics in Government
Secondary School, Tarauni, Kano. Based on the massive failure of students of the school in the subject in previous West African Senior Secondary
School Certificate Examinations (WASSCE) and the National Examination Council (NECO) examinations, the school Principal saw a need for all
the students to attend the classes, therefore the extramural was incorporated into the school time table and the classes held between 8 a.m. - 10 a.m.
three times a week in two groups of 40 students totaling about eighty (80) students that benefitted from the classes for two (2) months till the
commencement of WASSCE on 1st
of April, 2014. This became the first Project. Efforts to address the problem of poor orientation of education
and its essence, which was discovered to be the reason for the poor performances of the students, led to five other projects.
The second and third projects were two academic, career and mentor-ship seminars. The seminars addressed the three main issues highlighted
in topic.
Detailed orientation of education was given by facilitators at the seminar to make the participants see the worth of education and its significant
role in maximizing intellectual potentials while the career sections helped the students know and understand the various career opportunities in
sciences, commercials and arts-based fields of study. This was to help the students understand the end (career) to which education is a means.
The mentor-ship arm of the initiative linked students to professionals in fields relevant to their careers of interest, who were facilitators at the
seminar. To achieve all these, the facilitators at the seminar were university lecturers, therefore able to address the students from both academic
and professional ends, hence providing grounds for long term relationships with the students. The mentor-ship arm of the initiative became
imperative as it was noted that most of the students were from educationally-disadvantaged families and communities hence receive little or no
motivation and guidance in their academic pursuits.
Extending the initiative to other part of the state and beyond was the basis for the weekly education-based radio and television programme tagged
“Students’ Hour with Corper Ade” on Abubakar Rimi Television (ARTV) which was the fourth project. It was a live academic programme
where University lecturers and professionals were invited to discuss various professions and the academic roadmap to them. Issues on students’
preparation and performances in external examinations in external examinations (WASSCE and NECO) were also addressed by senior officers of
WAEC and NECO in the state. The Programme ran for ten (10) weeks and was on FM, UHF, StarTimes and live stream (internet) concurrently.
My experience with the beneficiaries of the extramural classes (first project) who never used the subject-based WASSCE past question booklets
till I brought a copy to them two months before their examinations made me procure and freely distribute two WASSCE past question booklets
(Mathematics and English Language), and notebooks for fifty (50) S.S.S. 1 and S.S.S. 2 students selected from ten (10) government-owned
schools in two LGAs of the state. This was the fifth project.
As the proficiency in Information and Communication Technology (I.C.T.) has become an important part of educational programmes globally, the
support of a standard I.C.T. firm was solicited, which resulted in the award of I.C.T. scholarships to six students to run different I.C.T.
programmes in the firm. This was the sixth project.
The programmes (projects) altogether directly impacted about 800 students aside the innumerable beneficiaries of its weekly media programmes.
All projects were properly documented and are available in writing, pictures and videos (DVDs).
