ALTECS Targets Nationwide Expansion, Donates Sports Kits to BIS

International educational consultancy, All Things Education Consultants (ALTECS), has announced plans to scale up its operations across Nigeria as part of efforts to broaden its impact on the country’s education sector.

The organisation said its long-term goal is to extend its support initiatives beyond Lagos and reach schools nationwide through a blend of academic and extracurricular interventions.

Speaking on the firm’s expansion strategy, ALTECS Director, Emmanuel Oyedeji Awe, said the consultancy has a “brilliant ambition” to achieve national spread, enabling more schools to benefit from its programmes.

Although ALTECS has gained public attention mainly through sports-focused projects since entering the Nigerian market, Awe clarified that the organisation’s mandate cuts across the full spectrum of education.

“Our remit includes everything educational. We have long identified the importance of infusing extracurricular activities with academics.

“Beyond football, we plan to organise one of the biggest festivals encompassing music, drama, arts and sports, aimed at showcasing the incredible talents our youngsters possess outside the classroom and beyond the pitch.”

According to him, the initiative is designed to equip students with qualities and lifelong skills that enhance their readiness for international studies and global competitiveness.

Addressing concerns that the organisation has largely supported already-established private schools, particularly following its recent donation of sports kits to British International School (BIS), Lagos, Awe said such views were understandable but did not reflect ALTECS’ broader mission.

“As someone who grew up in similar environments as children in less-privileged schools, giving back remains a core part of our intentions,” he said.

He explained that partnerships with top-tier schools are mutually beneficial and aligned with global best practices, noting that world-class institutions such as Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge, Yale, Princeton and MIT continue to attract significant donations despite their substantial endowments. “Nigeria should not be an exception,” Awe added.

During the presentation of the sports kits at BIS, the school’s basketball coach, George Ipe, commended the gesture, describing it as the first of its kind since he joined the school two years ago.

Ipe said the donation has boosted students’ morale and sense of responsibility.

“To whom much is given, much is expected. The students know they now have more to do and more to give in terms of their performance on the court,” he said, thanking ALTECS on behalf of the school community.

Awe assured that ALTECS will continue to support schools across different categories as it expands its footprint, stressing that the consultancy is positioned to “change the entire landscape of educational consultancy in Nigeria.”
