Obafemi Awolowo, Yakubu Gowon’s Foundations Shaped My Philanthropy

 

Obafemi Awolowo and General Yakubu Gowon’s human inclinations and administrative styles define His Royal Majesty, Oba Adedokun Abolarin Aroyinkeye’s free education enterprise

OpenLife reports that Chief Obafemi Awolowo and General Yakubu Gowon’s human inclination and administrative styles are the critical kernels that currently shape the free education enterprise of His Royal Majesty, Oba Adedokun Abolarin Aroyinkeye
I, The Orangun Of Oke-Ila Orangun.
The highly respected monarch is the proprietor of Abolarin College, Oke-Ila Orangun in Osun State.
Abolarin College currently has 134 rural, indigent students from all over Nigeria.
The monarch’s interest in the future well being of children is unequaled.
On several occasions, the former senior legislative aide to former Senate President, Senator Ayim Pius Ayim, is not tired disclosing how Chief Obafemi Awolowo’s free education in the old Western Region and the administrative style of Yakubu Gowon define the essence of his free education.
At the moment, Abolarin College, school runs in Oke-Ila, Osun State on free tuition fee, free hostel, free-feeding including free internet and uniform.
Every child has access to free laptops and an uninterruptable power supply 24 hours daily.
So passionate is Oba Abolarin about education that he takes time off his busy traditional schedules to lecture the students in Government and History.
However and interestingly so, the uniqueness of Abolarin College is that the school is remarkably for the poor.
“Only poor students are admitted into the school. Once it is discovered that the parents of a candidate are rich, such a candidate will be denied admission. That is how passionate Oba Abolarin is about education,” an Osun State indigene told OpenLife in an interview.

Continuing, the Osun State indigene said, “The Oba believes so much in the future of the poor. He believes that a bright future should not only be for the children of the rich. The poor should be supported and motivated to have a bright future.”
With this free education enterprise of the Oba, many children, across Nigeria, who were hitherto, hawking wares on the streets, are now learning in an atmosphere comparable to what obtains overseas.
Yesterday’s hopeless children now look into the future with the optimism of becoming doctors, lawyers, engineers, technology experts, pilots and of course Presidents and governors.
