The Proprietor of Crown Heights College, Ibadan, Oyo State, Prince Gbadebo Adeyeye, said the provision of quality education for the young population is more important to the country in a time like this in the country. The Proprietor, who said this in his welcome address during the 2024 Valedictory Service of the school and dedication of Oba David Opeyemi Adeyeye Hall, said there is no better moment than this to remind Nigerians that no matter what Nigeria’s situation is today, the future of our society is still bright. The event started off with the commissioning of the new Hall, which he said was still a peanut in appreciating his late king-father, His Royal Majesty Oba David Opeyemi Adeyeye, Agunsoye II, the Arinjale of Ise-Ekiti, who reigned for 32 years between 1932-1976.
He said: “According to the United States-based educationist, James Madison, he said many years ago that, a popular government without popular information or a means of achieving it is a tragedy. “Knowledge will forever govern ignorance and people who want to be their own governors must arm themselves with power that knowledge is. This is the reason while Crown Heights College remains committed to its founding mission since 1997 to provide our young men and women in the society a conducive environment where they can be well educated without any compromise and without fabrication.
“Ladies and gentlemen, as we gathered here this afternoon to celebrate our Class of 2024, to rejoice with their parents.
