The Right Reverend Ajayi observed that the school has continued to experience unprecedented progress since establishment noting that where Christ is made the foundation, there will be peace, stability and greater achievements.
The Anglican Bishop therefore urged the students of the school both past and present to build their lives on Christ, live selflessly and become agents of positive change wherever they find themselves.
while calling on government and other well-meaning individuals to continue supporting the school, the religious leader advocated sustained prayers for peace and improved security in Nigeria, particularly in Ekiti State.
