The Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun, has named the model college in Isara-Remo in Remo North Local Government Area of the state after the late Afenifere chieftain, Sir Olaniwun Ajayi.
Ajayi died on November 4 at the age of 91.
The governor said this on Tuesday at the farewell and commendation programme held for the deceased by the state government at the Sagamu interchange.
Amosun explained that the model college in Remo would be the fourth of such to be named after eminent citizens of the state.
He said, “The model colleges at Ikenne, Sagamu and Ewekoro had been named after the late Chief HID Awolowo, Prof. Theophillus Ogunlesi and Dr. Akin Ogungbola respectively.”
Amosun assured the people that his government would fast-track the completion and inauguration of ongoing projects in the state.
He urged the people to emulate the virtues and legacies left behind by Ajayi, adding that his death had left a huge vacuum which would be difficult to fill by the younger generation.
“His words of wisdom and insightful sagacity will be sorely missed at a time like this when the Yoruba race is working to fostering unity and integration,” Amosun added.
