EBC Financial Group donated 250 notebooks and 47 school bags to support students with daily classroom materials.
LAGOS, May 2026 – EBC Financial Group (EBC) recently visited Isolo Junior Secondary School in Lagos and donated notebooks and school bags as part of its community initiative supporting education in Nigeria.
According to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), access to education remains a major national challenge across Nigeria. About 10.5 million children aged 5 to 14 are not in school, while only 61% of children aged 6 to 11 regularly attend primary school. Against this backdrop, EBC’s visit focused on one immediate need within the school environment: helping students access essential school materials needed for writing, organising their work and participating in daily lessons.
EBC handed over 250 notebooks and 47 school bags to the school management, led by Principal Mrs Adewole F.A. and Vice Principal Mrs Ajawuihe.
Supporting Daily Learning
Books and school bags are everyday school essentials, but they play an important role in helping students stay prepared for classroom lessons. The visit also gave EBC representatives the opportunity to meet and spend time with the school’s representatives and students.

“It was a privilege to visit Isolo Junior Secondary School and spend time with the school community,” said David Precious, Project Coordinator for EBC’s Isolo Junior Secondary School Initiative. “Items such as notebooks and school bags are simple, but they are used every day in the classroom. We are glad to contribute in a practical way and hope these materials help students feel more prepared for their daily schoolwork.”
The school’s management received the donation on behalf of the students and expressed appreciation for the support.
Part of EBC’s Wider Community Work
The visit forms part of EBC’s wider community work across education and health. Alongside this education initiative in Lagos, EBC also supports the United to Beat Malaria programme, as malaria continues to affect communities across Nigeria.
In 2026, EBC served as a Gold Sponsor of the Move Against Malaria 5K (MAM5K) Virtual event and extended its partnership with the programme by three years.
Through its local and global initiatives, EBC continues to support communities through practical action and sustained engagement.
