Alaaje of Aaje Ologo in Ogbomoso, HRH Reuben Adesina Amao, has distributed uniforms to students of Owode Community Grammar School.
Oba Adesina, according to the principal of the school, Comrade Dayo Ajala, donated 11 (eleven) uniforms during the school’s annual inter-house sports competition held recently in which the monarch was a royal father of the day. The inter-house sports competition tagged “Femi Onireti – Owode Community Grammar School Sports Meet,’ was held at the school’s athletic pitch at Oke-Owode area, Ogbomoso.
Comrade Ajala said the school carefully selected the beneficiaries to make sure they are truly indigent students, while urging, “the only way the benefitting students can show gratitude is to be dedicated to their education.”
He recalled Alaaje Ologo saying he lost his parents early, especially his father which made his mother go through a lot of difficulties training him.

Ajala, a national officer of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) charged the students to “study hard and reciprocate such gestures in the future.”
Mrs. Elizabeth Ajao, mother of one of the beneficiaries, expressing appreciation, stated, “I appreciate Oba Alaaje Ologo, I alone take care of my children, I pray his children will be blessed too and fulfill their glory and receive mercy in Jesus. This is relieving. I also thank the principal of the school and all the teachers.”
