Cenat, a US online streamer and YouTuber, laid the groundwork for his school in Makoko during his first visit in 2024.

“The process of me building this new school in Nigeria has officially been stamped today. It’s a go go,” he had said.

“So this new school in Makoko is for the kids that are living in Makoko, Nigeria. I have started working on the school.

“And right now if you are in Nigeria and you know the best people that could get the paint job good, get the right equipment they need, and are willing to get their hands dirty for the right amount of money to get paid, let me know.
