ADEBARE PUTS EDUCATION FIRST AS ILE-OLUJI/OKEIGBO LG BEGINS NOTEBOOK DISTRIBUTION TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS


The administration of the Executive Chairman of Ile-Oluji/Okeigbo Local Government Area of Ondo State, Hon. Otunba Samson Agboola Adebare, has commenced the distribution of notebooks to public primary schools across the council area as part of efforts to support basic education and ease the financial burden on parents and guardians.

The exercise began on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, at Baptist Day Primary School in Ile-Oluji, the headquarters of the local government, with the aim of improving pupils’ access to essential learning materials and supporting their academic development.

Before the commencement of the distribution, the local government administration published the notebook allocations for public primary schools across the area. The allocations were based on enrolment figures provided by the Area Education Officer, a measure intended to promote transparency and ensure that the materials reach schools according to their pupil population.

Speaking on behalf of the Executive Chairman, the Secretary to the Local Government explained that the initiative was designed to make learning more accessible to pupils while offering practical support to parents and guardians amid the cost of providing educational materials for their children.

He encouraged the pupils to remain committed to their studies, take their education seriously and uphold good conduct. He also cautioned them against thuggery, hooliganism and other forms of misconduct that could distract them from their academic pursuits.

The council reiterated its commitment to supporting educational development and creating a more conducive environment for children to learn. The pupils were further encouraged to embrace discipline, dedication and hard work as essential qualities for academic success.

Among the schools that received notebooks during the exercise were St. Matthias Catholic Primary School, St. James Caring Heart Mega School, St. Peter’s Primary School, L.A. Primary School, Cherubim and Seraphim Primary School, St. George’s Catholic Primary School, McGee Primary School, CAC Primary School and St. Luke’s Primary School.

To ensure that pupils in communities farther from the local government headquarters also benefit from the programme, notebooks allocated to schools in remote parts of the council area had been transported to the respective schools for distribution.

The exercise was attended by Hon. Akinwumi Opeyemi, councillor representing Ward 4; Hon. Akinfolarin Akinbusola, councillor representing Ward 1; and Hon. Rufus Opeke, councillor representing Ward 2.

Other officials present included Hon. Tayo Fapohunda, Supervisor for Education; Hon. Prince Kehinde Adedugbe, Supervisor for Health; Hon. Abiodun Ayodele; Hon. Sade Ajibise; Mrs. Lara Ojemuro; Mrs. Aina Akinbinu; and Mr. Adetunji Mathew, Protocol Officer to the Executive Chairman.

The notebook distribution forms part of the local government’s broader efforts to strengthen basic education, improve pupils’ access to learning resources and support families in meeting their children’s educational needs. By extending the exercise to public primary schools across the council area, the administration seeks to ensure that pupils in different communities have access to materials that can assist their classroom learning.

The initiative also highlights the importance of collaboration among local government authorities, school administrators, teachers and parents in promoting educational development and encouraging pupils to pursue their academic goals.
