The Legislative Assistant to Hon Amobi Yinusa, Comr Rabiu Ademola popularly known as “Lakasera” gives back to his community by distributing school uniforms, school bags, notebooks and other writing materials to students in Iwo local government.
The former Federation of Iwoland Students’ Union (FILSU) president, Rabiu Ademola distributed school uniforms among pupils in all wards in the Iwo local government. Many parents and guidance were in a joyous mood as they received free school uniforms and other needed school materials for their children.
It will be recalled that the Osun State governor reversed a single uniform for all schools in Osun State made by his predecessor Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola. Governor Oyetola reversed the policy as schools are to wear their different school uniform.

Rabiu Ademola says it is essential to play a role in reducing the burden on parents and guardians to get the new school uniforms and writing materials. At a program organized, students were given free uniforms, school bags, notebooks and writing material as schools resume back to the status quo of using their specific dress.
The invited beneficiaries were selected from all the wards in Iwo local government, orphanage homes and handicapped.
Also, school uniforms were donated to the bank of Telu Initiatives in the Palace of Oluwo. Some of those that benefited from the distribution of school uniforms include the former school the Rabiu Ademola attended, First Olukotun Baptist day school. Parents who received the uniforms appreciated and prayed for the former FILSU president for his kind gestures.
Oluwo of Iwoland represented by High Chief Aipate of Iwoland and High Chief Osolo of Iwoland lauded Rabiu Ademola as he described him as a good example for the youths. He urged the youths to contribute their quota in the development of Iwoland.
Hon Mudasiru Oguntola Toogun S.A/Chairman on Peaceful Coexistence between Fulani/Bororo and Crop Farmers in the State of Osun and Alhaji Liad Tella (Asiwaju Musulumi of Iwoland) lauded Lakasera for this giant step for contributing to human development and the future of tomorrow.
