Last year, Cordros Capital gifted a renovated Home Economics lounge to Falomo Junior High School, Ikoyi. The company completed this project as an integral part of our 2025 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts. Our aim was to create a long-lasting impact, and we intentionally chose this project to support the students’ learning. Before the project commenced, the previous lab could not fully support the students’ home economics education as it lacked adequate facilities and resources for practicals.
During the renovation, a number of Cordros staff volunteered their time and resources, assisting with tiling, plumbing, carpentry, painting and more. The participation of our Cordros Champions assisted in ensuring a timely completion. Their participation was a visual representation of our core value, teamwork. Staff support and involvement were appreciated and helped to create a better hands-on learning space for the Home Economics students getting ready for their WAEC examinations.
The newly renovated Home Economics lab was successfully launched in May 2025, with Cordros Executive Management, Cordros staff and teachers, students and representatives of Falomo Junior High School in attendance. The new lab was fully equipped with 3 wide worktop stations surrounded by stool chairs, a gas cooker, cooking utensils, cupboards and shelves and a sink area. The room had also been repainted and illuminated, creating a conducive environment for the students to learn in.
One of the students commented, “I feel so happy about it and I feel so glad. I just want to say a big thank you to Cordros because they did very good. It’s beautiful. I like it.”
The students and teachers alike were excited about the newly renovated infrastructure. Home Economics teacher, Comfort Gabriel, said, “It makes it easier and comfortable for us to work in. I would like to say a very big thank you.
“The home economics lab is a functional area for the students to work and now it’s not all about theory. We have to do more of practical.”
At the launch event, Managing Director of Cordros Capital Asset Management, Adegbolahan Aina, also noted in his speech, “For us to create that enabling environment, that conducive learning environment where there's good ventilation, students can sit down, they can have practicals, it's such a joy. So, we are happy, we are joyful.
“Thank you once again for having us and it's such a joy for us in Cordros.”
In September 2026, Cordros Capital staff checked in on the Falomo Junior High School students’ progress. It was shared that over 300 students had passed their WAEC in Home Economics, an astounding achievement that was not the case, prior to the renovation. This rewarding outcome was shared with the Cordros Champions as well. We are so proud of Cordros Capital and its positive impact on the students’ education.
Fulfilling our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a priority for us and an opportunity to give back to communities around the firm. Cordros Capital is very proud to be at the forefront of pioneering this sort of change in our society and our environment. The Falomo Junior High School Economics Lab project joins a list of impactful projects the firm has worked on or supported.
