The prayer session is a particularly historic one because the same Imam Adekilekun was one of the founding fathers when the idea of establishing the school was conceptualized.
According to a statement by the Chairman of the Planning Committee of the anniversary, Alhaji Kola Alimi, the commemoration of the great school’s fiftieth anniversary is a grand design to thank ALLAH, appreciate the founders, the alumni as well as the current set of students in the school.
Alhaji Alimi, who is also the Managing Director of Osun State Investment Corporation, explained that the committee has created well sequenced programmes to commemorate the special anniversary to enable all categories of stakeholders participate to their satisfaction.
”It is just very important that we start the celebrations with the Founders Day Special Prayer before we embark on other components of the anniversary celebrations”, Alimi added.
He urged everyone to spare good time for the special prayer day to make it a huge success. (Flowerbudnews)
