Ojo, stated this at the Ita Ege- Idi Aro- Onala 2019 day celebration where he was installed as the Asiwaju of the community.
He said education brought him and others to the level they attained today, adding that education is an important tool to succeed in life.
According to him, “Education is an important tool to succeed in life; Education brought us here today, “ he said.
This is just as he frowned at the attitude of the youths and parents in the community to education, saying they no longer take education serious.
“You don’t go to school again and I am not happy. “In 2013, when I came here, I told you that anybody that want to go to school should come and meet us.
“Myself and Hamzat Lekan Salami donated N5m towards an education trust fund project. We saw only one person; a lady that has graduated and finished her youth service,” Ojo stated.
Advising the youths and parents to take advantage of the available opportunity to get education, he disclosed that the trust fund will cater for the education of whoever is interested from primary school to tertiary level.
“Bring your children, I am pleading with you. Anybody that want to send his or her children to school should come and meet us even if you have money to send them to school.
“People of Eleta, Kudeti, Ashanke, Labo, Idi Aro, Ariori, Ita Olukoyi, I am pleading with you all, “ he said.
Ojo stated that he will do a programme that the traders and artisans in the community will benefit from, adding that nobody would be left out.
He further stated that he will sink three boreholes in the community and also build a clinic that would be commissioned in December by the outgoing governor of Oyo State, Sen. Abiola Ajimobi.
He stated that he is not doing these projects because of politics, saying “ I am not interested in any position.”
“It is just a way of giving back to the society,” he added.
