Chinyere said that the primary and secondary school, when completed in 2020, would admit about 1,000 pupils and students from less privileged families.
He said the Lagos school would be the 14th on the list of OPM existing free schools nationwide.
The OPM founder explained that the aim was to ensure that children of the less privileged in the country have access to free and quality education within a safe learning environment.
“Our schools are for the less privileged children all over the world and as such we will also go to West African countries like Niger, Benin Republic and Ghana.

“We will also go to Kenya, Burundi, and other African countries before we go to Asia and other continents, but our vision is to cover the whole world,” he said.
According to him, the students and pupils are also given beverages, Milk and Milo, on regular occasion to compliment the schools’ free-feeding programme.
