Adunni Sparks Brilliance at Mosan-Okunola Spelling Bee
On Monday, September 29, Mosan-Okunola LCDA’s council hall buzzed with excitement as pupils and students from public schools competed in the Annual Spelling Bee. The event, a Lagos State tradition, featured participants from Alimosho Senior Grammar School, State High School, Jakande Estate Comprehensive, Abesan Senior High School, and State Senior High School in the secondary category, and African Church Primary School, Abesan Primary School, Estate Primary School, and Housing Estate Primary School in the primary category.
Council boss Hon. Akindele Adunni Opeyemi, known as “Adunni in the Neighborhood,” joined Vice Chairman Hon. Akintola Falade, councillors, and other dignitaries. A professional teacher turned politician, Adunni engaged students in a lively holiday-sharing session, rewarding them with educative notebooks containing LCDA history and the national anthem. She praised Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the competition’s founder, and announced that the secondary and primary winners would serve as one-day chairman and vice chairman, respectively, urging students to “study hard and make us proud!”
The competition saw fierce displays of talent. Bamgbose Tioluwanimi of Estate Primary School won the primary category, followed by Edet Emmanuel and Akinola Omotayo. In the secondary category, Olukayi Opeyeme of Abesan Junior High School took first, with Emmanuel Ruth and Frank Ebychulam in second and third positions.
Adunni’s inspiring words and the students’ stellar performances highlighted Mosan-Okunola’s commitment to academic excellence.
