Alaafin of Oyo Supports Oliveth Baptist High School Development

The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Akeem Owoade, pledged his support for infrastructure development and educational programs in schools across Oyo town, particularly Oliveth Baptist High School. This commitment was made during a fundraising ceremony and thanksgiving service on Sunday, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the 1972–1976 set of the school's old students' association, held in Ibadan.

Oba Owoade commended the alumni for their contributions, emphasizing that the responsibility of running schools should not rest solely on the government. Chief Wale Babalakin also spoke, urging different sets of alumni to collaborate for the school's development.

Adeoye Mapederun, president of the 1972–1976 set, announced that nearly N10 million was spent on renovating a block of three classrooms, which were in disrepair. The renovation included installing ceiling fans and improving facilities to enhance the learning environment.

The alumni association plans to raise further funds for additional projects at the school.
