A group, Igbaye Development Vanguard (IDV), has commended Osun State government over the renovation of some blocks of classes at the Igbaye Community High School (ICHS).
The renovation, according to IDV, a non-governmental, but a developmental organisation, which membership cuts across all professions and spread across the world, involves four (4) Blocks of 13 classes.
Coordinators of the organisation, Dr Sunday Olayemi and Mr Adeoye Popoola Esq., while speaking, commended the prompt intervention of government, describing it as commendable and worthy of praise, even as they equally described the Gboyega Oyetola’s administration as sensitive.
“The administration of Governor Isiaka Gboyega Oyetola, who inherited the project from his predecessor Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, is a sensitive one to the yearnings of the citizenry.

“The government has exhibited its real love for education and thus deserves to be given more support to do more for the citizenry,” Dr Olayemi said.
Speaking, Mr. Popoola said the main objective of the group was to rekindle the interpersonal lovely relationship among members and the community in general, saying that the immediate areas of concentration would be renovation of the community’s joint public properties like schools, health centres, Town Hall, public utilities like toilets, post office, among others.”
“Our immediate areas of concentration will be the renovation of our joint public properties like schools, health centres, Town Hall, public utilities like toilets, post office, among others,” he said.
“Besides the renovation of a few dilapidated facilities in the town, the building of new ones like e-library, recreation centres and Event Halls is also in the pipeline,” he added.
This was just as he recalled that earlier renovation of a block of Igbaye Community High School (ICHS), was jointly financed by the Vanguard members and old students of the school before the state government moved in having been impressed with the efforts made by the group.
“Late last year, the Vanguard was able to contribute up to N7.5 million to renovate one block of three classrooms, a staff room and an office.
“This effort impressed the State Government which promised to take over the renovation of the rest of the work.
“And true to its promise, the state government took over the renovation and presently, four (4) Blocks of 13 classes are being renovated to the administration of Igbaye Community as well as the members of the Vanguard,” Popoola said.
