For the mentorship component of the programme, a total of 85 volunteers from all walks of life had, prior to the date of the event, adopted at least one of the over 200 public secondary schools in the State, with a view to contributing towards the development of the schools and the mentorship of the students there.

Through the Inoyo Toro Foundation, over the years, adopted schools have received lots of books, computer sets, infrastructure upgrades, career counsellings, physical mentorship sessions et al, from their mentors.

Another very crucial activity for the day was the mentorship session where the volunteer mentors spent out time to interact with the heads of their adopted schools together with the six students invited from each school.

Interactions touched on students’ careers, strengths, weaknesses, improvement opportunities, challenges and areas of required intervention in the school.
