While commending the educational policies of Governor Abiola Ajimobi led administration, Awobode said: “we appreciate the efforts of His Excellency, Senator Abiola Ajimobi for his efforts to reposition and transform educational standard in the state, the result of which have started being seen through the students’ performance in external examinations like WAEC and NECO.

The Provincial Pastor added that this was the reason the province, RCCG Oyo Province 13 deemed it fit to distribute 5000 exercise books across the secondary and primary schools in four local government Areas on the state.

Remarking, the Oyo State Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Professor Adeniyi Olowofela lauded RCCG Province 13 in the state for donating books, other learning and health materials to United Christian Secondary School, Omo-Adio, the commissioner’s alma mater.

According to Olowofela, the gesture by the church is according to the injunction of Christianity and Jesus Christ of providing for the people in need, adding that it is a template for all other churches, organizations and free givers to emulate the church in alleviating poverty and promoting laudable developments.

He added that it is on this backdrop that the state government launched School Governing Boards (SGBs), an educational policy that allows all and sundry to participate in providing for secondary schools’ educational needs and engendering a desirable development in educational sector in the state.

Chioma told Mega Icon Magazine that she was moved to make the donation because she loves leaving a landmark and legacy. “I noticed that my place of primary assignment, (PPP) don’t have a clear good sign post for easy location, the students also throw waste dirty around the school premises, the motorists speed at a high level without considering the pedestrian crossing.

“The very first day I reported to my place of primary assignment, (PPP) after NYSC camp I couldn’t locate my school because of bad sign post, if not for the help of the Bike man. I wouldn’t want that to happen to another new Corper or visitors to the school that was why I set up the two (2) school sign posts.

“For the Zebra crossing drawing is to safe lives and properties of the people, and the community at large. While the waste bin is to keep the school neat always”.

Also, she averred that the project did not go without some challenges while mobilizing support.

According to her, “well, it was stressful! Some will say come today, come tomorrow, while others will even stop picking your calls, if they see you coming they change to a different direction. Some pastors will even give you exquses to avoid giving you a dam, and language barriers among others . But, there were some good Nigerians that supported me.

“The experience was just come today come tomorrow. The highest fund raised came from church members and a pastor so it was holy ghost filled and no sexual harassment”.
