By The Chairman Multichoice (DSTV) Nigeria, Adewunmi Ogunsanya, SAN, who doubles as the Odofin Of Ikorodu has hinted about his plan to build a 1.4 billion naira worth vocation training Centre in Ikorodu as part of measures to combat insecurity in the town.
The business mogul stated this during an exclusive interview with Oriwu Sun, a community newspaper in its August 2022 edition.
The academy still under construction is located along Gbagidan-Mowo-Nla Road, Ikorodu and is built on 15 hectares of land, which Odofin Erujeje said he bought 22 years ago.
“We are building a massive vocational centre for indigent students in Ikorodu. The facility is in progress and can admit about eight hundred students where they can learn arts and craft, printing, fashion designing, ICT, etc., and keep them gainfully occupied. As part of the programme, we shall give twenty million naira worth of scholarship to students on an annual basis.
“We are preparing to launch the first edition of the scholarship this year and commission the vocational centre at the same time. I entrusted the organisation of the vocational center and scholarship board selection to the Ikorodu Development Resources Group (IDRG), because they have reputable people in the division who can handle such a delicate affair,” he said in the interview.
The programme will feature in the entire Ikorodu Division; from Igbogbo, Ijede, Ibeshe, Ishawo, Imota and the six local council areas.
High Chief Dewunmi Ogunsanya’s title in Ikorodu – Odofin Erujeje of Ikorodu, is the fourth to the Oba in hierarchical order- the Oba, the Olisa, the Aro and the Odofin.
