Redemption Forum Distributes Exercise Books To Ibarapa Schools

An Ayete-based socio-political group, Redemption Forum (RF), had donated 500 exercise books to pupils in all the public and private primary schools in Ayete area of Ibarapa North Local Government, Oyo State.

Representatives of the RF, led by Mr. Sefiu Ojebisi, the President of the organization, took the notebooks to the schools on Wednesday, July 27, 2022.

They also spent quality time with the beneficiaries, giving them orientation and inspiring them to prioritize their academic pursuits.

The RF President told this News Agency after the donation that the gesture was their little way of contributing to the education of the younger ones in the community.

Ojebisi said the group is committed to touching lives through education and will continue to support educational development in the area.

“We have distributed notebooks to all public and private primary schools in Ayete community. This initiative was borne out of our quest to making our community a haven for intellectuals.

“The development of any society depends on good education. We all have a significant roles to play -the government, organization, well-to-do Individuals, parents and the community. We must ride together to face the challenge.” Mr. Sefiu said.

Responding on behalf of the beneficiaries, all of the school headteachers thanked the donor and appealed to other organizations and well-to-do individuals in the area to emulate the good gesture.

Mrs F.O. Adewale, the Headmistress of Ansarudeen Primary School, Ayete, urged the members of the group to never relent as they have set a pace for others to emulate.

She said: “In my years of service, this is the first time I will see students coming together to help the younger ones from their personal take and not bursary, I encourage you all to continue with this great feat, and endeavor to come up with something greater next year.”

Mr. Tajudeen Alawode, the Headmaster of C&S Primary School, Ayete, in his speech emboldened them to continue being good ambassadors and ensure that the crisis rocking the Federation of Ayete Students’ Union (FASU) comes to an end. “All hands must be on deck to seeing to the growth of students’ affair.”

RF is an Ayete-based organization of erudite and well-groomed individuals in Ayete community which aims at touching lives through education and social life.

The group had held a number of educational initiatives in the community, ranging from 50 free UTME forms, Inter-tertiary and secondary schools debate, Symposiums, a host of others.
