‘I Never Had This Opportunity’ – Okada Rider Says As He Provides Educational Materials To A School In Ibadan

Mr Adegoke Adejare, a commercial biker (Okada rider), has taken up a benevolent project for students at an Ibadan school.

He provided writing materials to St. Paul’s Anglican School, Yanbule in Ibadan, Oyo State, according to NAN.

Adejare, who goes by the moniker ‘One Nigeria,’ told the students to concentrate on their studies and to make the best use of the materials available to them.

He said; “I donated books, pencils, pens and erasers. This is what I like to do.

“I never had the opportunity to attend a formal school, so I have vowed to do my best to support the government in developing the education sector, through little gestures such as this”.

Mrs. Oluwatoyin Gbaroye, the school’s Headmistress, praised the bike man for his thoughtful gesture, saying it would motivate the students to take their education seriously.

Dr Nureni Adeniran, Executive Chairman of the Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board, said that while the state government would provide basic facilities for students, it would also welcome humanitarian gestures from members of the public.

He assured that the State Government will recognize Adejare’s generosity with a letter of commendation.
