Aiyedatiwa Calls for Alumni Support for Schools

Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa appealed to financially capable alumni and education stakeholders to partner with the government in addressing infrastructure challenges in public schools. Speaking at the 50th anniversary of Omoluorogbo Grammar School in Akure, Aiyedatiwa, represented by Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development Sunday Olajide, stressed that alumni contributions are essential for sustaining educational growth.

He noted that collaboration between the government, alumni, and stakeholders is crucial for bridging the infrastructure gap in public schools. Aiyedatiwa encouraged old students to renew their commitment to their alma mater.

Kayode Akinmade, Chairman of the Anniversary Planning Committee, highlighted significant alumni investments in the school, including a four-classroom block and a generator for power supply. Other alumni contributions included renovations and a Student Support Programme for financial assistance to indigent students.

Akinmade called for further alumni engagement to sustain the school's legacy, as public schools in Nigeria face ongoing challenges with inadequate facilities and funding.
