The Hon. Fatai Adekunle Ayoola’s led administration in Ajeromi-Ifelodun Local Government Area (LGA) has redeemed the pledge of N250,000 to winners of the online essay competition, organized for secondary school students in the LGA.
The council Chairman made the cash presentation to the trio of Uzoma Israel from Ajeromi-Ifelodun Senior High school, Saidat Anifowoshe from Temidire Senior High school and Ofaboh Gift from Odufunke college, at office of the executive chairman recently.
While speaking during the presentation of cash prizes to the online essay winners, Hon Ayoola said his administration felt the need to keep teenagers busy through essay writing during this lockdown.
He added: “We wanted them to get closer to their books, do research and proffer solutions to the impact of COVID-19.”
It would be recalled that Hon. Ayoola has promised the winners a laptop each, and that the teenagers would be integrated into AJIF Ambassadors, a group that is geared towards changing the behavioural and mental attitude of teenagers towards greatness in Ajegunle.
The essay competition according to organisers of the event, had challenged teenagers across the LGA to proffer solutions by ‘Identifying the pitfalls on the education system in Ajegunle’ as a result of the negative impact of COVID-19.
The cash prize was shared in the various categories of N150,000 for the first position, N70,000 for second prize winner, N50,000 for third place and other participants sharing the remaining cash as consolation prizes.
