Members of Staff and Students of Ilejemeje Community High School Iye
Ekiti have been advised to cultivate the habit of giving back to the
society that mould them, particularly when they have attained a level
of greatness.
The Permanent Secretary, Teaching Service Commission Mr Michael Omolayo
gave the advice at the Commissioning ceremony of Signposts Project
donated to the school by the 2022 Best Teacher in EKITI, Mrs Mary
Imaobong-Kupolati in Iye Ekiti.
Mr Omolayo who described the event as note worthy, appreciated the
donor for such a brilliant initiative to give back to the Community
where she’s presently working and for deeming it fit to present such a
remarkable project at the time of it’s need.
While unveiling the signposts project, the PS likened the donor to
the ten lepers in the Bible where only one came back with gratitude
proving that the teacher is a woman of God to have such insight and
for giving such token as memorial for the school to be remembered by
all.
He stressed that its indeed a lesson for all about the reward of
hard work noting that she has put herself in the limelight by
distinguishing herself in the service to humanity.
The PS wished the donor higher feats at national and
international levels in future, with a charge to her not
to relent in the discharge of her duties and responsibilities to the society.
Omolayo hammered on the expectation of government at recording the
best of results in external
examinations that would justify its huge investment in the education sector.
In his remark,His Royal Highness Oniye of Iye Ekiti, Oba Jonathan
Adeleye-Oni said he was delighted in such a gigantic initiative of the
donor, by contributing her quota to the development of the school,
calling on other beneficiaries of government patronages to emulate the
good deed of Mrs Imaobong-Kupolati.
He noted that the project is the first of
it’s kind in the history of the Community, which will go a long way at
imprinting the the name of the donor in the sand of time in the
community.
Earlier, the donor of the special Signpost project who was
also the 2022 Best Secondary School Teacher in Ekiti State,
Chief Mrs Mary Imaobong- Kupolati said, she was motivated to donate
the project to the school as her own little way of adding value to her
place of work.
While appreciating God and the State government for the opportunity,
Mrs Imaobong-Kupolati advised everyone present to think positively at
all times at making the society worthwhile.
Mrs Imaobong-Kupolati appealed to all well-meaning individual and
group to imbibe the spirit of giving each time the opportunity is
opened.
She promised not to relent in her determination to impact positively
into the lives of the people and the society.
