Nancy Isime commissions playground at Ikorodu Primary School

Actress Nancy Isime has marked her 34th birthday by giving back to the community, commissioning a playground at Methodist Primary School, Ikorodu, Lagos.

The actress, who celebrated her special day with students and staff, believes in promoting outdoor play and creativity among children.

In a video posted on Instagram, Isime expressed her joy in commissioning libraries and playgrounds, citing her fond memories of reading and playing as a child.

She emphasised the importance of reducing screen time and encouraging kids to engage in outdoor activities.

According to her, this initiative aligns with her long-standing tradition of celebrating her birthday by supporting educational institutions.

She captioned the post: “And so we commissioned another play area in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Now let the fun playtimes begin.

“My favourite part of my birthday parties at schools is when we get to commission a library or play area. As a child, reading and playing were my absolute favourite things to do, and you’d definitely find me in the play area, swinging and sliding my young stress away.

“I truly believe that it’s essential for children to have less screen time and more time outside, playing and creating.

“Thankful for the opportunity to be able to add some fun and creativity to the Amazing Children of Methodist Primary school sessions

“They literally summoned me to the dance floor immediately after for some serious Kabashing. I know they’re going to create the best memories there together.”
