Hon. Adewumi Adeyemi IREKANDU, a Lawmaker representing Obokun Constituency at the Osun State House of Assembly, on Thursday, called for the need for Improved Quality Education in Rural areas.
Irekandu reiterated this while speaking at the renovation of a four-block classroom building at The Apostolic Primary School, Esa-Oke, by the children of the late Pastor Ezekiel Daramola.
Honourable Adewumi Adeyemi, IREKANDU, is known for his keen interest and impact in Education as well as his yearly IREKANDU back-to-school scholarship project, which covers students within the Obokun state constituency.
The lawmaker argued that Education is a harmonious training of the physical, mental, and social capabilities of every individual, maintaining that with quality education, they would become the leaders of tomorrow.
He further urged teachers in public schools to impart knowledge that would help students discover their dreams in life.
While giving his address, Honourable Adewumi Adeyemi, Irekandu affirms that some primary and secondary school students from Esa-Oke recently sat for the entrance examinations that, if passed, will qualify them to be part of his Irekandu Back to School scholarship project.
Meanwhile, the Owamiran of Esa-Oke in Osun State, Oba Adeyemi Adediran, on Thursday charged parents to provide their children with good parenting and quality education that could exceptionally distinguish them from their contemporaries.
Similarly, in his remarks at the event, the Chairman of the Esa-Oke Central Union, Mr. Yinusa Bamigboye, said, “The union collaborated with the Daramola family to renovate the dilapidated structure after waiting for government intervention for years.”
However, Hon Adewumi Adeyemi commends the Daramola family for their generosity and call on other well-meaning individuals to follow suit because the government alone cannot handle every community’s needs.
