The Gamaliel & Susan Onosode Foundation (GAMSU) has officially launched the 2026 edition of its Ideal School Campaign, an initiative designed to identify and renovate one public school in Nigeria that requires critical infrastructural support.

Founded in 2013, GAMSU remains committed to improving the lives of children and young people through innovative and flexible educational opportunities. The Ideal School Campaign reflects the Foundation’s long-standing belief that learning environments matter, and that safe, dignified spaces are essential for meaningful education.

About the Campaign

The Ideal School Campaign is an open nomination initiative inviting communities across Nigeria to nominate a public school in need of renovation.

Communities, alumni groups, parents, teachers, and concerned citizens are encouraged to submit nominations, accompanied by evidence that clearly demonstrates the school’s needs.

Rather than selecting at random, GAMSU will conduct a structured evaluation process, considering:

The severity of the infrastructural need

The potential impact of the intervention

Feasibility and logistics

Available funding

Open Nomination Process

Public primary and secondary schools in Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Kaduna, and Nassarawa states are eligible for nomination.

Teachers, parents, community leaders, alumni, and education stakeholders are invited to submit nominations through the official online form.

Nomination Period: February 9 – February 28, 2026

Assessment Period: March 1 – March 31, 2026

Selected School Announcement: April 2026

All submissions will be reviewed using a transparent and standardised evaluation framework based on:

Infrastructure condition

Safety risks

Access to water and sanitation

Enrollment and impact potential

Community readiness and sustainability

Visual documentation shared via Instagram or X may support nominations, but all schools must be officially nominated through the online form to be considered.
