Deputy Governor, Engr. Noimot Salako-Oyedele of Ogun State joined other members of the 1981 set Alumni of Queens School Ibadan, to ensure the completion of renovation of the school's computer room, including the donation of sets of computers and furniture to their alma mata, to mark the 40th anniversary of the set graduation from the 69 year-old school.
Engr. Salako-Oyedele, while handing over the donated items, said the gesture became imperative to boost computer literacy among students, so as to complement government’s efforts in the education sector.
The Deputy Governor who commended the school heads and staff for their cooperation to make the project achievable, noted that about 100 old students that graduated from the school 40 years ago are doing well in their endeavours.
"Today, I want to show my deepest respect to all our teachers who moulded us to be what we are now, they guided us academically and morally. Some have departed but for those who are still with us, we pray that you will continue to eat the fruit of your labour", she said.
In his remarks, her counterpart in Oyo State, Engr. Rauf Olaniyan, appreciated the 81 set for remembering their alma mata, lauding their support towards development of the education sector.
In her welcome address, the President of the Alumni, Mrs. Adeoti Adejuyigbe, noted that four years ago, the set renovated a block of classrooms and last year, they also donated books to the school library, charging students of the school to be dedicated, focus and determined, so as to become successful individuals in life.
Also speaking, the school Principal, Mrs.Toyin Oyinloye expressed gratitude for the unflinching support received from the Alumni, calling on other set to emulate the gesture to collectively develop the school.
