The event, among other things, was the presentation of over 400 school bags to the pupils of the school. It was performed by the wife of Ogun State governor, Mrs. Bamidele Abiodun.
Speaking at the event, Mrs. Abidoun stated that teachers should be given due attention, as it is accorded to the student, noting that teachers were often neglected.
She urged the pupils to concentrate on their studies, noting that the personality of Prof Wole Soyinka “is worthy of emulation and a good example for youths to learn from.”
“People don’t realise that the attention given to our students should be given to our teachers, because if our teachers are not capable, they will not be able to produce the students and stars like Prof. Wole Soyinka.”
Also Speaking, his son, Dr. Olaokun Soyinka, highlighted the need to support the children’s education and impact their lives positively.
He disclosed that Prof. Wole Soyinka’s children launched the foundation to make a meaningful impact on the lives of children.
