Firm Renovates Schools In Lagos, Rivers, Oyo, Kano

In furtherance of its initiative which aligns with the company’s broader Corporate Social Responsibility priorities focused on education, youth empowerment, and environmental sustainability, Chemical and Allied Products (CAP) PLC, has concluded renovation of schools in Lagos Rivers, Oyo and Kano states.

The management of the company, Nigeria’s leading paint and coatings manufacturer, posited that the initiative is aimed at bringing the power of colour to classrooms, inspiring creativity, confidence and pride among learners across Nigeria.

Through the Colours of Hope initiative, CAP PLC has transformed four educational institutions across key states including, Clegg Senior Girls High School, Surulere (Lagos); Army Day Secondary School, Port Harcourt (Rivers); Government College, Ibadan (Oyo) and Kano State Polytechnic, Kano. Each project involved the repainting and refurbishing of classrooms, ICT facilities, as well as the beautification of school entrances and administrative spaces, turning previously dull environments into vibrant, functional, and uplifting spaces for students and teachers alike.

Speaking on the initiative, managing director, CAP PLC, Bolarin Okunowo, said, “For us at CAP PLC, paint is more than a product, it’s a medium of transformation and we recognise that the learning environment plays a powerful role in how students absorb knowledge.

“Through this initiative, we are using the power of colour to renew spaces where dreams are formed and futures take shape. When students walk into bright, well-kept classrooms, it changes how they see themselves and what they believe is possible.”

The chief operating officer of CAP PLC, Jethro Iruobe, added that, “Colours of Hope is a reflection of who we are and what we stand for as a company. For us, this is what it means to create a new Africa inspired by colours, using our products and our people to bring hope and inspiration for the next generation to learn, grow and thrive.”

The project was warmly received by school administrators, community leaders, and students, who described the transformations as inspiring.

According to the company, Colours of Hope reflects CAP PLC’s belief that small changes can create meaningful impact, and that colour, when used with purpose, can be a powerful catalyst for progress.
