A Nigerian man identified as Noah Shemede, has been hailed online after opening a free school for children living in the Makoko area of Lagos state
The young man also went the extra mile to build a free boat that would convey the children to the school.
Speaking in an interview with Legit, the young man revealed that he is the first person to build a free school boat to transport kids to school in the Makoko area of Lagos State.
Since the community is located in a riverine area, children have difficulty going to school.
Noah noticed the condition of the kids and decided to build a boat which would be conveying them to and fro.
When asked what inspired him to do such a great thing for the kids, Noah said he believes in education and children’s future.
He said no matter how a child might look, he or she can become the president tomorrow.
According to him, all children deserve sound education no matter where they live, thus his reason for building a boat is to endure that children go to school.
He recognised the need for children to be able to move to school easily in the community; thus, he launched a school boat that can convey up to thirty children at a time.
