– Awards Him with Distinguished Member of OGSA 2001 Set
The Oyemekun Grammar School Akure Old Students' Association 2001 Set, represented by its Executive Members, has paid a congratulatory visit to the newly elected Chairman of Akure South Local Government Area, Hon (Dr) Gbega Fasua, at his office over the weekend.
Pastor (Barr) Dare Daniels, the Chairman of the Set, led the delegation and officially conveyed congratulations to Hon Gbenga Fasua on behalf of the OGSA 2001 Set. He emphasised the importance of offering unwavering support and safeguarding the reputation of the local government leader, not only because he belongs to the set but also due to his exceptional hospitality. In expressing the set's commitment to supporting the local council chairman, Pastor Dare Daniels stated: "Hon Chairman, please feel free to call upon us whenever you require support, as we are standing solidly behind you."
He advised Hon Fasua to seize the opportunity of his position to leave a lasting legacy and invest significantly in the development of human capital. He remarked, "We rise by uplifting others, and it is divine providence that has placed you in a position of authority, enabling us to proudly project you as our representative at Akure South Local Government." He encouraged him to share opportunities and allocate time to host the 2001 Set for a dinner, where all members could gather to relax, reminisce, share laughter, and foster camaraderie as mates and friends.
Furthermore, Pastor Dare Daniels, acting on behalf of the Oyemekun Grammar School Akure 2001 Set, bestowed upon Hon Gbenga Fasua the Honour of Distinguished Member of the Set, decorating him with the school's muffler as a token symbolising friendship, unity, and solidarity.
Engr Yinka Saliu, the Set's Treasurer, appealed to Hon Fasua to initiate a project in his name and ensure that the set undertakes at least one project at the school during his distinguished tenure. He further recommended a significant investment in infrastructural development for the benefit of the people of Akure South.
Also offering insights was the Secretary of the Set, Mr Stanley Oluwole, who philosophically stated that an individual requires the support of one person to rise, but he or she might not know the person.
The Publicity Secretary of the Set, Hon Goke Williams, advised Hon Gbenga Fasua to prioritise his commitments and allocate time for rest, emphasising that 'health is wealth'. He also encouraged him to attend the Akure Branch Old Students' Association Meeting, held every last Thursday of the month by 4 pm in the Oyemekun Grammar School Akure Hall. Hon Goke highlighted that active participation in such gatherings would endear him not only to his alma mater but also to many others, saying he would always need people. He took the opportunity to present a congratulatory letter to the Akure South Chairman, Hon Gbenga Fasua, on behalf of the 10th Global Executive Council and the entire Oyemekun Grammar School Akure Alumni Association, under the dynamic leadership of Dr Niyi Ijogun, FNIQS, its Global President. Hon Goke extended his prayers for Hon Fasua's continued success and wisdom in his role as the local council boss.
In response, Hon (Dr) Gbenga Fasua, the esteemed Chairman of Akure South Local Government, expressed his delight at the visit from his secondary schoolmates, acknowledging their presence with deep appreciation. He recognised the inherent imperfections in every individual and the challenges that accompany his demanding office and tight schedules. Demonstrating his commitment to delivering democracy's dividends to his constituents, the Chairman said, "I am receptive to your advice; this is our time, and I am prepared to labour for the advancement of Akure South Local Government. I have meticulously planned my initiatives since assuming office, eager to commence impactful projects, particularly in the areas of education, infrastructure, and other critical areas." He requested Hon Goke Williams to remind him of the Home Branch meeting of the Association, endorsing the idea of giving back to his alma mater as an integral part of his constituency.
Also present at the meeting were the immediate past Secretary of the Set, Mr Oluwaseyi Oluwalade, and the Set's Reunion Chairman for 2024, Mr Adekunle Oni.
It is noteworthy that Hon Gbenga Fasua not only serves as the founding convener of the OGSA 2001 Set but also holds the distinction of being the pioneer chairman. Undoubtedly, the prestigious Oyemekun Grammar School, Akure, continues to produce distinguished individuals in Nigeria and beyond.
