]]>Honestly, the educational foundation we receive goes a long way to determine how well we perform academically and socially. Bovi has re-emphasized this fact by saying that he had always attributed all his present success and accomplishments to the training he received from his primary school.
Bovi’s reason for renovating the school
In a post he made on his official Instagram page, Bovi pointed out that he was pained when he saw the dilapidated state of his alma mater. This made him dedicate three months to completely transforming the school.
In his words, “Those who know me well know how I have always given credit to my primary school for what I have become. I consider my foundational path fortunate because I had the best teachers on my route from kindergarten to primary 5. They were so good that I remember all of them by name to this day.
“It was a prestigious institution sitting on a hectare of land. That’s triple the size of many learning institutions today. It was a school with international standards that only a few private schools can boast of today. “So you can imagine my sadness when I visited the institution and saw the degenerative state of the facilities. I broke inside. Hence I spent the last three months painstakingly seeing the renovation of the 20 classroom block, 2 staff rooms, and 1 library. In this building, I spent my final years (primaries 4 and 5).”
He thanked the Deputy Governor of Edo State for showing up for the commissioning of the renovated school. He also appreciated the presence of the vice-chancellor of the University of Benin. In the same light, fellow celebrities have also taken to social media to praise Bovi for his philanthropic service to his alma mater.
