Oba Adegbenro appreciated the leadership of the citadel of learning for giving his community this golden opportunity that will continue to serve as a bolster for the economic growth of the host community and the ones around.
Oba Adegbenro, who led community Chiefs to the resumption event, in order to offer prayers for students and other management staff of the campus, thanked the good people of Ifaki-Ekiti for their laudable contributions, prior to the completion of the school’s site and further urged them to welcome all with accommodating spirit. “I am joyfully overwhelmed today for this beautiful development. I want to assure you of adequate security for Staffs and Students in their respective dealings.”, Oba Adegbenro said.
