The preliminary edition of the
very popular SPELLING BEE competition in Mosan/Okunola LCDA for 2015 has
produced Jonathan Awobodu and Samuel Nwaeniyi as winners of the primary and
secondary categories respectively. 8 pupils slogged it out in the primary
category while 16 fought-it-out in the secondary category.
In her opening remarks, Hon.
Opeyemi Adunni Akindele, the Executive Secretary of Mosan/Okunola, after
welcoming the pupils, appreciated the initiator of the competition, Senator Oluremi
Tinubu, the wife of the former governor of Lagos State, Bola Ahmed Tinubu. It is
of note that Spelling Bee competition was made popular during the tenure of the
former governor of Lagos state, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the first lady at that time,
who is now a Senator, initiated it. The winner of the competition automatically
becomes a governor for one day. The joy and fame that come with being the
governor for a day to the pupil, parents and the school made the competition very
competitive.
The Executive Secretary encouraged the pupils
to put in their best to win and represent the Council and maybe, go ahead to
win the competition to become the One-day Governor of the State. She noted that
a pupil in Mosan/Okunola, Master Emeka Chibuike made the LCDA proud the
previous year to win the competition. She also encouraged the pupils to take
their education seriously as it is the key to a good future. She told them to
believe they can do everything they set their mind to do and to be good
ambassadors of Mosan/Okunola.
The Lagos State officials who
presided, told the winners that will be representing the Local Council
Development Area at the State level to prepare for a stiffer competition as the
one for the State level will be more demanding and tasking. The team include
Mr. Adesina, Mrs. Idris, Mrs. Alade and Ms. Olaitan.
Officials of Mosan/Okunola
present at the event include the Head Of Department of Education and staff of
her department, other H.O.Ds and their staff. Also present were the executive

to leave for an important engagement was represented by Mrs. Adebisi Adegbore
for the rest of the event.
In her closing remark, Mrs. Adebisi
Adegbore who is an Educationist, congratulated the winners and admonished those
that did not win to take it in good faith. She encouraged the winners to
prepare for the tougher task of representing the LCDA and to make sure they come
