Yesterday marked the end of the four-week free holiday lesson organised by Odi-Olowo/Ojuwoye LCDA. The four-week holiday coaching started at Estate Senior Grammar School at Oshodi where students across the LCDA from JSS one to SSS three received intensive coaching.
Delivering his speech at the end-of-coaching and award-giving ceremony, Hon Ajala congratulated everyone at the event on the success of the coaching.
He said: "The essence of this gathering is to encourage the students who have dedicated their time and energy to participate in the programme and also to encourage those who performed excellently well by rewarding them accordingly.
"The idea of the holiday coaching aimed at keeping children away from the streets and engage them in something beneficial to them," he added.
Talking about the significant of the event, he said: "The first is to send message to the parents and the students that the four-week programme has come to an end; prepare their minds that normal school activities resume soon and to recognise and reward those who performed well.
He said education was given priority because it is the best legacy any parent can give to his/her children. "The best selling commodity today is ideas, hence; the need for quality education. There is need to direct the energies of the youth to something meaningful rather than vices that will make them destructive to their communities," he explained.
He said the narration about the local government which delegates Mushin and brand the place as the headquarters of hooliganism needs to be corrected.
According to him, Mushin has produced great individuals who have excelled in their various fields of endeavours.
He said the council was better in terms of organization of this year's programme than the previous ones but wanted more improvement in the academic performance of the students While responding to the questions from journalists after the event, the head of education department at the council, Mrs Adetimehin, said the programme was initiated by the Chairman of the council to prepare the students for the next academic session as most of the things learnt would put them in the best positions to tackle any challenges in their various school subjects.
The highlight of the event was the presentation of meritorious awards to students who performed exceptionally during the four-week coaching.
Awards were also given to supporting staff that distinguished themselves throughout the programme. Some of the students who spoke to our correspondent praised and prayed for the Chairman, Hon Ajala, and his team for the laudable initiative.
Among the dignitaries at the event were the Vice Chairman of the council, Hon Seyi Jakande, the Secretary to the LCDA, Hon Mujeeb Ayinde Daramola, Leader of the Legislative arms of government in the LCDA, Hon Rilwan Ajenifuja and all the councillors and Supervisors from the LCDA.
