The traditional ruler of Imota Kingdom, Oba Ajibade Bakare Agoro, has recommended Landmark College, Ikorodu, to parents and guardians looking for a reputable school for their children.
The traditional ruler made the recommendation during a visit to the Ikorodu branch of the First Bank Plc on Wednesday January 18, 2023.
While advising the students, the 73-year-old Kabiyesi, implored the students to remain committed to their studies.
As part of the academic programmes, the college Business Department embarked on an excursion to the bank to assess the level of circulation of the newly-redesigned naira notes, its implications and the policies introduced by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
While touring the bank halls, the students met the seasoned chartered accountant, who is currently the Kabiyesi of Imota, with the bank branch Manager, Mr Bunmi Akiode.
After paying homage to the king, the students engaged him in an interactive session where the cerebral students asked relevant questions regarding his infancy and achievements.
Responding to the questions, the Kabiyesi stated that he was a trained charted accountant, advising the students to take their studies seriously.
“Achieving one’s goal in life is not a tea party. It requires lots of effort and commitment. I will charge all of you to remain committed to your studies,” Oba Ajibade said.
He added, “You must appreciate your parents for sending you to Landmark College, Ikorodu. They want the best for you. I did not have such a privilege. The only way to appreciate them more is to remain focused and pursue academic excellence.”
Commending the behavioural comportment of the students, the Kabiyesi stated that the moral training the students receive is second to none.
“I must commend you for your comportment. You walked in and politely paid homage as expected of children well brought up from good homes and well trained in a refined academic environment. Kudos to Landmark College, Ikorodu,” he said.
Also speaking, the branch Manager, Mr Bunmi Akiode, charged the students to adhere strictly to the advice of the traditional ruler.
“You all have plans and aspirations. It requires dedication and commitment to achieve them,” the manager said, noting that they all have the potential to achieve their goal.
The students were taken on a tour of different sections of the banks where interviews were conducted with some senior staff, regarding the newly-redesigned naira notes, reasons for the action, its implications as well as the new CBN naira policies.
