Pastor Babagbemi Joseph Adejola, a philanthropist and Founder of GB-Irorun Foundation, has donated 15,000 Exercise books and other educational materials to students across the three Local Government Areas of Yagba Federal Constituency.
The initiative was aimed at bolstering the political campaigns and spread awareness about the three APC Chairmanship candidates in Yagba federal constituency in the October 19th, Local Government elections in Kogi.
While presenting the educational materials to the APC candidates at their various LG Secretariats over the weekend, Adejola reaffirmed his commitment to youth empowerment and education development.
According to him, the campaign promotional items are designed to raise awareness about the candidates’ vision and plans for their respective local governments.
The Philanthropist noted that the gesture would boost the political aspirations of APC candidates while also addressing the educational needs of the community’s children.
“I believe that empowering our local leaders is crucial for the development of our community. By supporting our APC chairmanship candidates, we are endorsing a vision that aligns with the aspirations of our people.
“Education is a vital foundation for our youth, and through this distribution of notebooks, we hope to ease their learning experience and encourage academic excellence.
“Investing in our children’s education is investing in our future. Every child deserves the tools they need to succeed academically,” Adejola said.
At Mopamuro LGA Secretariat, Pastor Adejola commended the APC Chairmanship candidate, Hon. Ademola Bello (aka Destiny) for his relentless efforts in the pursuit of academic excellence for Mopamuro students.
