Reward of teachers, he noted, is no longer in heaven, expressing
the hope that they will certainly be rewarded here on earth, while also calling
on other well-to-do individuals, irrespective of their status and political
affiliation, to remember their various Alma-mater by giving back to where they
were made as well as the society at large.

“When one gets to this age, which is over 50, one must be
thankful to God. I thank Him for sparing my life and enabling me to see another
year. I usually don’t celebrate my birthdays, but I have decided to celebrate
with the less- privileged. We must not also forget the teachers, who have made
sacrifices. I pray God to help me reach out to more schools”, Adeneye added.

The monarch, who is an old student of the school, encouraged the
pupils to be studious, respectful and diligent, adding that the only way they
can reciprocate the commissioner’s gesture is for them to face their studies
squarely and be determined to be successful in life.
