History was made as a new Police secondary school was commissioned in the agrarian ancient town of Isua in Akoko South East Local Government Area of Ondo state, making it the second of such colleges after the Itaogbolu Police secondary school.
With the establishment of the new school, Ondo state becomes the only state in the southwestern zone with that gesture.
The new school has good classrooms, a well-secured compound, hostels, a hall, and a medical center.
In his speech at the official commissioning of the school, the Pioneer Commandant of the school, Assistant Superintendent of Police, ASP Udugbezi Michael said police secondary schools are established and run by the department of police education unit with the approval of the Inspector General of police to cater for the children of police because of the nomadic nature of the job.
He used the occasion to commend the singular efforts of a philanthropist and a native of Isua Akoko Mr. Kayode Ogidan for the donation of the entire school buildings to the police.
Speaking, the donor, Mr ogidan said well-to-do individuals and corporate organizations must consider as a challenge the need to join hands with the government in providing infrastructure and other needs for the citizenry since government alone can't do it.
Ogidan who frowned at the nonchalant attitudes of the youths to embrace trades, farming, and other menial jobs for survival said they prefer roaming about looking for criminal ways of getting money.
Ogidan commended the Inspector General of police for his approval as well as commending the commissioner of police CP retired Ade Adewale for his involvement in the approval of the school.
Similarly, the royal guest of the occasion, the Olubaka Of Oka, Oba Yusuf Adebori Adeleye, commended the patriotic efforts of Mr. Ogidan and the love he has for Isua and the entire Akokoland.
The monarch urged others to emulate him and join hands to bring development to Akokoland.
Dignitaries at the commissioning include the chairman of Akoko south-east local government, Mr. Ade Adurogboye, the Olisua of Isua, Oba Adesunloye Oyolola, the Owa of Ogbagi Akoko, Oba Victor Adetona Olasehinde, the Regent of Ifira, Princess Ade Olugboja, and a host of others dignitaries.
