The Secretary to the Osun State Government, High Chief Teslim Igbalaye, today presided over a special celebration at the Exco Lounge of the Governor’s Office to honor the 2024 winners of the Nigeria-Malaysia Debate Competition.

In his speech, Igbalaye celebrated the outstanding students, who represented not just their schools and Osun State, but Nigeria as a whole. The SSG proudly acknowledged the hard work and dedication of the students, stating, "They went, they competed, and they won, not just at the international level but sailed through local, regional, and national competitions that led to the world."

The students recognized for their achievements included Abimbola Salawat of Methodist High School Ilesha, Adeogo Mercy of Christ African Church Grammar School, Gbodofon Osogbo, Adewale Oluwaseun Esther of Ila Grammar School, Ila Oragun, and Daniels Happy Udubiaka of Master A Secondary School, Ilesha.
 
The SSG presented each of the four awardees with a cheque of two million Naira, as previously promised by the Governor, in recognition of their exceptional performance.
 
He emphasized the importance of rewarding academic excellence, as he spoke about the principles of education and how recognizing achievement motivates future success. 

Speaking further, the SSG made an additional promise to recognize the principals of the schools. "I further promise to give each of the principals of these four winning schools one hundred thousand Naira each as a token of appreciation. We must appreciate them," he stated.

Igbalaye expressed his gratitude to Governor Ademola Adeleke for sponsoring the students’ participation in the competition and commended the Honourable Commissioner for Education, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Education, and the Executive Secretary of the State Senior Secondary Education Board for their support in facilitating the students' success.

He dedicated the international award to all teachers and inspectors of education in the state, whose tireless efforts continue to shape Osun State’s education system.

As promised by the Governor during the State Education Summit in August 2023, Osun State remains committed to academic excellence and the continual development of its education sector.

Signed:

Kehinde Adeoye,
Special Assistant on media to the Secretary to the Osun State Government.

NEWS RELEASE 10 - 2 - 2025 The Osun State House of Assembly has expressed grave concern over the sinister plot devised by the opposition party, the APC, aimed at inciting violence across the state. In response to this alarming development, we call upon the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, to ensure that his officers uphold the highest standards of professionalism, remaining neutral in their essential role of maintaining security in Osun.
