The newly built Ajegunle Junior High School is not just an architectural masterpiece but a testament to the government’s dedication to education,” Saheed said.
He noted that the school now boasts modern facilities, including a standard football pitch, well-equipped laboratories, a library, a computer room, a water system, and a conducive learning environment.
Saheed further extended appreciation to Governor Sanwo-Olu, his Deputy, and the Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, Mr. Tolani Alli-Balogun, for prioritizing education in the area.
“This is another bold statement that you truly care about the well-being and future of our children. On behalf of my constituents, I sincerely appreciate your tireless efforts,” he added.
