Brilliant indigent students who benefited from the Hon. Ayoade Akeem Adewale ‘s free UTME forms, have been charged to pursue their dreams with utmost tenacity, dedicate their time and be more committed to their studies, for their successes and brilliant scores in the upcoming UTME exam.
The Political Head/Administrator of Aare Latosa LCDA, Hon Ayoade Adewale gave the charge while presenting the forms to the beneficiaries during a programme within the Council Secretariat.
The beneficiaries were selected across the Council Area.
Ayoade stressed that education is the only bedrock of developments, noting that, if a child is trained, a nation has been trained which will culminate to more developments in the society.
He acknowledged the economic and financial implications which might hinder some vulnerable but brilliant and intelligent students, a tertiary or higher education hence, the need to ameliorate and reduce the burden on their parents in order to give them opportunity to achieve their dreams and goals in life.
The Council boss also stated that this gesture was borne out of his efforts and determination at replicating Governor Seyi Makinde’s agenda of impacting educational sector and promoting qualitative education for the teeming youths, at the Council level.
He urged the beneficiaries to see the opportunity as a motivation to drive them to study and prepare very well for their future aspirations’ accomplishment.
Ayoade congratulated and admonished the beneficiaries to be prepared for what the future holds for them, by been good ambassadors of their parents, the LCDA as well as the State and shun any form of social vices when they eventually get admissions into higher institutions.
Earlier in his address, the Head of Local Government Administration, Deacon Ajebisi Olabode eulogized the good gesture of the Political Head and tasked the beneficiaries to make good use of the opportunity hence, their total commitment to passing the exam is expected.
Speaking on behalf of all the beneficiaries, Mrs Mary Ojo thanked the Management especially the Political Head for counting them worthy of the great privilege and promised to make him proud in the exam and thereafter.
