Lagos Students Win ₦1.35m to Bring Community Project Ideas to Life

A student team has won ₦1.35 million for its proposed community project after the first Narrative 4 Cities School Programme in Lagos. The six-month initiative involved 200 students from 10 public schools and began in March with facilitator training, followed by school activities in May. The programme used storytelling, inter-school exchanges and debates to build empathy, leadership and problem-solving skills. Students proposed environmental, social and technology-based projects, including apps designed to improve public safety. At the closing ceremony in Ojota, Narrative 4 Africa Operations Director Buchi Onyegbule said the funding was intended to help students develop practical solutions using resources within their reach. The organisation plans to continue the programme next year, depending on available funding.
