“The decaying condition of the school has not only been a problem and insult to only the old students, but to the entire community, while we as the old students have been making all our efforts toward managing it, but you have in deed come to our rescue.
“The present and future generations will never forget you for this singular honour and by extension other dividend of good governance just in one year.
“Your Excellency, our dear Governor, sir you have started well and you have exhibited your foresight in identifying that quality education is the bedrock of societal development, and no single amount expended there is a waste.
“We beg for your further magnanimity towards rebuilding our collapsed school hall because of its multi-purpose needs, equipping all our laboratories to standard, furniture to all the classrooms, and approving the restoration of boarding facility in IGS.
“These requests sir will not only add values to your achievements, but will write your name permanently as father of new Kwara. We appreciate you and pray for your continual success as we will never forget you sir.”
