“We cannot appreciate him enough for changing the face of the school by renovating the dilapidated structures in our school just as he did in schools across the state. We must particularly commend Governor Adeleke for breathing live into several blocks of classrooms in the school that had become death traps from blown rooftops, caved asbestos, etc due to long years of abandonment by past administrations”
“We are particularly thankful to the Governor for the new look that the school is wearing coupled with the provision of teaching equipment”
“We pray for our brother and predecessor, Senator Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke, to succeed in his efforts to reengineer Osun State,” the President added.
