Emmanuel Agboola Baptist Grammar School, Ogbomoso, Oyo state, Wednesday, played host to the first edition of the Girls of Purpose Initiative (GOPI) programme, themed “The Power of Education.”

The initiative, organized by Racheal Ejitoye (Ojuloge Ogbomoso), aims to encourage girls to take their education seriously and view it as a critical tool for success, independence, and future leadership.

The programme, which targets girls aged 12 to 18, focused on personal growth, preventing teen pregnancy, and empowering participants to make informed choices about their futures.

Participants were also given practical support, including notebooks, brushes, sanitary pads, and more to aid their daily educational and personal needs.

Though the guest speaker, Hon. Daniel Olusayo Oyelola (aspiring politician in the 2027 general elections), could not attend in person, his presence was represented by Ajadi Isaac, who highlighted the importance of building the girl child as a crucial step toward national development.

Hon Oyelola emphasized that educating and empowering girls is an investment in the nation’s future leadership and prosperity, especially in a community like Ogbomoso.

The initiative received strong backing from the community. Blessing Olaitan expressed pride in Ojuloge Ogbomoso’s efforts and pledged support for future projects aimed at empowering the girl child.

Speaking on the program’s goals, Racheal Ejitoye (Ojuloge Ogbomoso) said, “Our focus is to ensure girls concentrate on their own futures, avoid being misled, and not compete with what they see online. Education is their most powerful tool for independence and success.”

The successful launch of this first edition marks a promising start for Ojuloge Ogbomoso’s mission to empower the girl child, setting a foundation for sustained impact and future editions that continue to prioritize education, personal development, and community support.
