Additionally, he said it was part of the corporate social responsibility of the company and said quality educational system was a priority area that underpinned good nation building.
“I was indeed disheartened when I observed our future leaders studying under a tree in an environment which has distractions”, he said, adding that studying in unfavourable environment was a factor which contributed to poor performance of students in sub-urban and rural areas.
