Daramola Dynasty Foundation Revives Isara Remo School Library With Literacy Initiative On Children’s Day

The Daramola Dynasty Foundation (DDF) in a powerful effort to tackle educational disparity and ignite a culture of reading among young Nigerians, has marked this year’s Children’s Day with a major literacy project at Iyankan High School, Isara Remo.

Tagged “Tools to Learn, Wings to Fly,” the outreach saw the complete refurbishment of the school’s abandoned library, turning it into a vibrant learning hub. The newly restored space was equipped with modern furniture, reading desks, and a curated selection of books designed to promote reading comprehension and broaden students’ intellectual exposure.

The Foundation also presented a brand-new laptop, giving students a much-needed digital tool to explore technology and access global knowledge.

“We’re investing in young minds because literacy is more than just reading—it’s a gateway to opportunity,” said Adedoyin Adeeso, Operations Manager at DDF. “This project aligns with our commitment to SDG 4 on Quality Education. Every child, no matter their background, deserves a fair shot at learning and dreaming big.”

Throughout the event, students engaged in spelling competitions, reading sessions, and motivational talks, creating a lively atmosphere that encouraged participation and curiosity. Many pupils took turns reading aloud, confidently tackling challenging words and asking thought-provoking questions—an encouraging sign of their eagerness to learn.

High-achieving students were also recognized and awarded cash prizes in a segment that celebrated academic discipline, resilience, and consistency.

Vice Principal Mrs. Ikumapayi commended the Foundation for what she described as a transformational intervention.

“This isn’t just about books and chairs—it’s about giving our students the confidence to believe in their future. This initiative tells them they are seen, valued, and capable of greatness,” she said.

The event underscored the critical role of access to educational resources in shaping students’ academic and personal development, especially in underserved communities.

As the day concluded, one thing was clear: DDF’s outreach didn’t just renovate a library—it revived hope. The smiles on students’ faces and their newfound enthusiasm for learning signaled the beginning of a brighter, more promising journey.
