He stated that no investment in Education is a waste in view of its critical role as the bedrock of any sane and serious Nation, saying the Ijumu Traditional Council is happy with the development.
The Ijumu paramount Ruler commended the Management and Staff of the Academy for doing excellent job in giving a bright future to the young generation in the Community and Okun land in General.
The School is expected to cater for Nursery, Primary, Secondary, and technical education with emphasis on quality and competence-based learning for underprivileged students across Okun land.
