Two outstanding students in Ogun State have been awarded landed property by one of the real estate companies in the state, NBI Estates, as part of support to government in enhancing an all round development of the society.
Isuraoluwa Adetayo of Golden Gait Model College, Ijebu Ode LG and Samuel Momoh of Adeoye Int’l School, Ado Odo Ota were awarded the property during the 45 Outstanding Pupils event organised by a non-governmental organisation (NGO), Integrity Campaign Club to commemorate the 2021 Children’s Day celebration.
The students were drawn from across the state and had participated in the Spelling Bee, Quiz and Public Speaking competitions.

Chairman and CEO of NBI Estates, Olaseni Oyesiku, presented an award of half plot of land to two grand prize winners.
While receiving the students, wife of the Ogun State governor, Mrs Bamidele Abiodun, noted that the nation would benefit immensely if parents continue to instill sound morals in their wards.
Abiodun, who condemned violence against children, said inhumane and barbaric tradition negatively affecting children would no longer be tolerated.
President and Founder of the club, Dare Adedotun said the task of training up a child should not be left for parents alone because when a child becomes irresponsible, the child will become a problem not just for the parents but for the society at large.
