Folashade Adebayo


The Wife of the General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God Worldwide, Pastor Folu Adeboye , was among guests honoured at the Firstgate Africa Leadership Award and the 10 th Anniversary/ Convocation Ceremony of the Firstgate Optimus High School, Mowe in Ogun State on Friday .

The Hall of Fame Award, which was given to her , was received by a representative from the church .
Other award recipients included Mrs . Olabisi Akinola -Okereafor , Innovative Leadership Award ; Pastor Femi Oyewole , Exemplary Leadership Award ; Mr .Benjamin Obahor , Nurturer of Talents Award, among others .

In his keynote address titled Nation Builders : The Beacon of Light , the Chief Guest Speaker , Prof . Chryss Onwuka , said the government must address challenges posed by epileptic power supply , inadequate teachers and insecurity if entrepreneurship education must succeed in the country .

He said , “ The demand for learning is quite high and the number of teachers who are trained to teach ICT cannot meet the demand . There are more pupils willing to acquire entrepreneurial skills than there are teachers to transfer the skills.

“Many schools have yet to be connected to the national electricity grid . Consequently , those schools are handicapped. Some of the equipment are industrial and require big generators as against small generators available in most schools .’’

Onwuka , who is of the Department of Animal Nutrition, Federal University of Agriculture , Abeokuta , Ogun State , also advised the graduating pupils to embrace good morals and academic excellence in their next phase of life .

“You will soon find out that the world is full of temptations , crime and evil deeds . Resolve within you today that you will not join the bandwagon . Do not spend your time gossiping . If you fail to be the light of the world , you would have wasted your time here and how sad that would be , ’’ he said .
