It was fulfilling for both the members and leadership of Excellent Ladies Club, and the pupils and heads of Immanuel Primary Schools at Samonda, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, where the club led by Comrade Oluwaseyi Ilori, clothed 150 pupils of the school in new school uniforms.
This was in line with the club’s yearly celebration programs to commemorate the IWD and her mission in giving back to society and the underprivileged.
Ilori in her welcome address reiterated the mission and vision of the club. She said: “This is one of the ways through which the vision of the Organisation – the Excellent Ladies Club is being fulfilled. We are concerned with the welfare of the indigent, the underprivileged and we also engage to secure the rights of the vulnerable in society, especially the female gender.
“To comfort the weary and strengthen the weak is our motto, and we have been doing this in our own little ways…putting smiles on the faces of the needy in the society.”
She then expressed her sincere appreciation to the dignitaries in attendance and the members. She prayed for the Supporters and well-wishers for the continuous blessing of God upon their lives.
Commissioner of Education in the State, Barrister AbdulRahman Abiodun Raheem, represented by the Director of Schools, Mrs S.A. Oyerinde, thanked God for the life of the donors and the laudable efforts of the Excellent Ladies Club for deeming it fit to remember the school in this year’s celebration of the club.
She highlighted that this kind gesture will not only encourage the pupils to appreciate education but also will inspire them to work harder in their studies and make the state proud wherever they go.
“And that this will corroborate the efforts of the Honorable Commissioner and the entire Ministry of Education, Science and Technologies to provide quality education to our children now and forwards,” she said.
She admonished the children to work harder and become the leaders of tomorrow as they are supposed to be seen and prayed for the blessings of God on the Excellent Ladies Club and their leadership, to be able to do more.
