Ogbomosho (Oyo State): For years, education has always been my passion and top priority, even beyond my role as the Chairman of Best Legacy College of Education and Best Legacy Group of Schools.

Supporting educational initiatives has been our foresight since the last 30 years of establishing the school. Best Legacy Primary and Secondary sections are the first fully boarding schools in Ogbomoso and BELCOED, the first private tertiary institution.

Through the Oke-LEGACY Foundation, we have consistently supported indigent students across the five local governments of Ogbomosoland and beyond with annual scholarships.

Over 1,000 students have benefitted from the scholarship, studying at Best Legacy College of Education (BELCOED) and other higher institutions, many of whom have now successfully graduated.

For me, “Education as the Best Legacy” is not just a slogan but a way of life that must shape the next generation of Ogbomoso youth.

Yesterday marked a watershed in our history with the maiden edition of the Ogbomoso Education Summit — a visionary initiative of our revered King, His Royal Majesty, Oba Ghandi Afolabi Olaoye, Orumogege III.

It was a landmark moment that reinforced the collective resolve to reposition education as the pride of Ogbomoso and a tool for sustainable development.

As part of my commitment to this noble cause, I am pledging the sum of N10 million towards the newly instituted Ogbomoso Education Trust Fund. This is my contribution to securing the future of our children and strengthening the educational foundation of our dear land.

I commend the foresight of our King and assure the Trust Fund Committee of my continuous support to ensure the overall success of this transformative initiative.
