As part of effort to inculcate safety consciousness among young people in the school, the Executive Director of Forwarder Group, Mr. Oluwole Eweoya has donated sets of safety equipment to students of Ewutuntun Community High School, Mafoluku Oshodi.

Eweoya said the foundation was donating the equipment to the school to support the government in providing facilities that will aid learning and ensure safety of the pupils.

“Many people are unaware of hazard around them even though some people may be aware but they take things for granted. what we call a behavioural test needs to be encouraged in the society so that people will be conscious of hazard around them and therefore takes precautions and avoid accidents that could cause injury that can lead to death”, he said

He said that the foundation is planning to go beyond the local government to donate the equipment to the schools.

“We are starting from this council because this is where I was born, this is where I did my secondary school. We are going to continue to other schools in this council and extend it to other places. If we have the resources and the capacity, we will extend it to other places in the country because we have been talking to partners who have volunteered to be part of this safety sensitization”, he mentioned

He urged the students to wear protective equipment whenever they are in the laboratory to prevent any hazard or danger.

“If the equipment are worn correctly, gear such as earplugs, earmuffs, hard hat, gloves or full-face mask can dramatically reduce the risk of injury”

The principal of Ewutuntun Community Grammar School, Mrs.Ojodupe Grace who could not hide her joy during the donation appreciated the foundation for donating the equipment to the school.

She said that the information given to them was an eye-opener for the students and the teachers, and they will take it home so that they can teach their respective families on how to prevent danger

Eke Blessing, a SS2 student who gave vote of thanks appreciated the foundation for donating the equipment to the school and for training them in health safety.
