He has credited the bank accounts of both schools with the sum of N25,000 pers SSS II student.
A total of 40 students in the Community Secondary School benefitted and 31 in GDSS at N25,000 per student.
After donating the sum of N2 million at the Ogidi Day Festival last June 18, Asiwaju Abejide had assured that parents and guardians of graduating students in both schools that they would, for the foreseeable future, no longer need to worry about the payment of the critical final examination fees for their children and wards.
