The Elulu of Mopa and Chairman Mopamuro Traditional Council of Chiefs, His Royal Majesty, Dr. Muyiwa Ibeun, has expressed gratitude to federal government and management of Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TEFUND) for its lofty education development initiatives.
Oba Ibeun made this known during the ground breaking ceremony for the construction of lecture theatre at the College of Education Technical, Mopa, on Wedbesday.
He noted that the lecture theatre will be the first TEFUND project since the college was relocated from Kabba to Mopa.
Recall that the higher institution was relocated from Kabba, when Kogi State University, Kabba was established under the administration of the immediate former Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Bello.
Oba Ibeun, in his speech, also appreciated the administration of the Governor Usman Ododo for the continued support in ensuring the college is relocated to Mopa and also providing an accommodating take-off ground.
The Provost of the College, Dr. Victoria Jagboro, lauded Oba Ibeun and the entire Mopa Traditional Council (MTC) for their encouragement and support in making sure the school takes off with a full welfare package in Mopa.
She said the lecturer theatre is a 150 students capacity and has been funded for full furnishing. She assured that it will be completed by September.
Performing the ground breaking along Oba Ibeun and Mrs. Jagboro are Otunba of Mopa, Oba Saul Olojo, and the Balogun of Mopa, Oba Clarence Olafemi.
Other persons present during the ceremony are the Oba of Okeguru – Mopa, Oba Williams Olushola Agbaje, and the Baale of Ikeji, Chief Phillip Shola Mofobi.
The students unanimously appreciated Oba Ibeun, MTC, and Mopa community for the good hospitality they received and are enjoying, also for the scholarship of over 100 students in the school, sponsored by the monarch.
