The refurbished music room is equipped with modern instruments, including guitars, violins, a keyboard, and saxophones. Adding a unique artistic touch, the classroom also features a striking mural created by Ripples Effect, a creative company owned by Awolaja Toluwalase Raymond and Abolaji Hammad Oba.

“We believe that music has the power to uplift, educate, and connect communities," says Linda Ayoola, Platoon’s Head of Music. She continues to highlight the company’s commitment to nurturing young talent through music education saying,"by opening this music classroom, we are honoured to be providing young talents with the resources and opportunities they need to explore their creativity and develop their skills.”

Beyond the physical transformation, Femme Africa has onboarded a music teacher who will provide weekly practical lessons, fostering the musical growth of students. Ayomide Dokunmu, CEO of Femme Africa, elaborates on the vision behind the project, emphasising the importance of creating spaces that empower young women to connect, collaborate, and create. She dedicated the cause to the memory of her mother, Mrs. Funmilayo Dokunmu, a proud Queens College alumna, whose legacy continues to inspire Femme Africa’s commitment to uplifting young women.

At the ribbon cutting ceremony, Dr. (Mrs.) A.O. Obabori, Principal of Queens College, expressed her heartfelt gratitude for the initiative, describing it as a significant milestone in her tenure. “This space will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact on our students, igniting creativity and fueling dreams,” she stated.
