He applauded the students for their enthusiasm and discipline, urging them to remain focused on their academic pursuits while also developing their sporting abilities. He emphasized the importance of education and extracurricular activities in shaping a well-rounded individual.

Reminiscing on his days as a student in the school, Hon. Mufutau Adegbite  spoke about the difficulty always encountered to get a pure and healthy water by going as far as a couple of miles distance from the school to get good water. To this effect and as part of his commitment to improving the welfare of students, easy access to potable water and supporting educational development in the community, Hon. Mufutau Adegbite announced the provision of a motorised borehole for the school. This gesture, he noted, is aimed at ensuring access to clean and safe water for both students,  staff and by extension the immediate neighbourhood of the school.

The announcement was met with loud cheers and appreciation from the principal , staff, students and the entire school community, who expressed their gratitude for the thoughtful intervention. 

This gesture was also followed by cash donations from him, house patrons and matrons,special guests of honour, and his entourage for the development of sports in the school.

The event concluded on a high note with various track and field activities, as well as the presentation of medals and trophies to deserving winners.
