REPORT ON VISIT TO BAPTIST DAY PRIMARY SCHOOL, Oko-Iroko, Ikirun

With deep appreciation for the privilege to serve under your leadership, I humbly wish to report my visit to Baptist Day Primary School, located in Oko-Iroko, Ikirun. The purpose of the visit was to engage with both staff and pupils on the importance of education and its long-term value in nation-building and personal development.

During my interaction, I emphasized how education has been the gateway to opportunities—sharing my personal story of how I wouldn’t have had the honor to serve in this capacity if not for the foundational importance of quality education. I urged the pupils to remain committed, focused, and grateful for the chance they have to learn.

Additionally, I encouraged the inclusion of practical trade subjects like Marketing, Fishery, Agriculture, and Technical Skills. This aligns with the government’s vision of producing creative, skillful, and self-reliant youth who can thrive in a fast-changing economy. It is crucial that our curriculum equips students with both academic and vocational competence.

The visit was very interactive and inspiring. The students eagerly expressed their dreams—ranging from becoming doctors, teachers, engineers, entrepreneurs, and more. It was heartwarming to see their enthusiasm and belief in a brighter future.

This kind of engagement is vital in nurturing young minds and reminding them that with education, there are no limits to what they can become.
