He congratulated Adunola and management of the school for providing a well-rounded and innovative education, and the proud parents of Aliyah.
“Reading through Aliyah’s academic trajectory, I am convinced that she is on a part of excellence and has laid a strong academic foundation for a successful future. I commend your doggedness and consistency for excellence”, Oyetola said.
The governor, who wishes Aliyah a successful representation at the world championship in United States, said his government would support efforts towards expanding value to educational development in the state.
