Beneficiaries, parents, and community members commended the gesture, describing it as a demonstration of Giwa’s commitment to education, youth development, and the welfare of the younger generation.
In continuation of his Eid-el-Kabir engagements, Giwa paid a Sallah homage to the Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrasheed Adewale Akanbi, at his palace, where discussions focused on community development, youth empowerment, and the progress of Iwoland.
Thereafter, Giwa accompanied the monarch side by side to the Iwo Central Mosque for the Jumu’ah prayer alongside other dignitaries and Muslim faithful.
