It was a day filled with joy and gratitude as Ajogbo Grammar School Senior, Ota, Ogun State, received a major facelift through the renovation of its school hall, a heartfelt project sponsored by alumnus and founder of Transtech Consulting, Tolulope Joshua Oginni.
The commissioning ceremony, held on October 15, was attended by students, teachers, dignitaries, and community leaders.
The newly renovated hall was officially commissioned by His Royal Majesty, Oba Olabode VT Thomas Fagbayi, Oni Tigbo of Tigbo Ilu Kingdom, Awori Land, who also presented an Award of Appreciation to Oginni for his selfless contribution to the school.
In his address, Oginni expressed deep emotions as he recounted fond memories from his school days, describing the project as a personal mission rooted in gratitude.
He said,
“Though it has been 18 years since I graduated from this school, I never forgot my roots. Ajogbo Grammar School is part of my story. This hall is not just a hall to me; it is a reminder of where it all began, my foundation, my growth, and the journey that shaped who I am today.”
Oginni, who served as Social Prefect during the 2001–2007 set, noted that giving back to the school was not an act of charity but a duty to the community that helped shape his future.
“By God’s grace, we have started, and we will continue, and we will do even more”, he added.
The joy on the faces of students, teachers, and old students was unmistakable, as many described the transformation of the hall as a sign of renewed hope and pride for the institution.
Principal Mrs. Olukemi Moronke Sorinolu commended Oginni for his generosity and commitment, calling his gesture “a shining example of true leadership and gratitude”.
In closing, Oginni dedicated the project to God, saying, “Success is indeed a beautiful thing, but it becomes truly meaningful when we remember where we all started from.”
The newly renovated hall now stands as a lasting legacy and a beacon of inspiration for the Ajogbo Grammar School Senior community.
