An alumnus of All Saints Primary School, Araromi- Aperin village, in Ona-Ara Local Government Area of Oyo state, Mr. Olusola Alagbe has donated two blocks of 6 classrooms to the school for infrastructural upgrade.
Other facilities donated include, Headmaster’s quarters, Staff quarters, a vicarage, church building, football pitch and sickbay, which were valued at about N100 million.
During an inspection of two blocks of 6 classrooms and other facilities on Tuesday, representative of the donor, Engr. Diran Oyetunji informed that the gesture was part of Alagbe’s efforts to give back to the society that made him who he is today.
He thanked the state government on his behalf for providing the necessary supports, averring that “this has afforded Mr. Alagbe the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the educational development of Oyo State, and by extension Nigeria”.
Remarking, the Oyo state government lauded the donor for supporting the state government with such projects, adding that the ongoing construction of new blocks of classrooms and other structures would boost the morale of children within school-going-age in the council area.
The government, through its Executive Chairman, Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board, Dr. Nureni Adeniran added that the gesture would afford children in Araromi village enjoy free and quality education, at no cost, just as he promised government’s contribution to the laudable project, saying “Oyo State Government would provide furniture for the pupils and teachers in the school”.
Adeniran, however urged other well-meaning indigenes of the state and non-profit organisations at all levels, including businesses, associations and faith-based organisations to take a cue from the donor and impact their societies.
“This is commendable and we appreciate Mr. Olusola Alagbe’s kind gesture in complementing government’s efforts. We also call on Associations and faith-based organisations to contribute their quota to the development of education in their immediate communities”, the SUBEB boss submitted.
