A block of three classrooms at Durbar Grammar School, Oyo has been named after an illustrious son of Oyo town and Chairman of Yoruba Unity Forum, Archbishop Emeritus Ayo Ladigbolu.

The project was facilitated by a member representing Oyo Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Mr Akeem Adeyemi named Archbishop Ayo Ladigbolu Block, the classrooms were inaugurated by Ladigbolu himself, who is also the Chairman of Oyo Metropolitan Development Association, alongside his wife, Afolake.

Speaking at the occasion, Adeyemi, a son of late Alaafin Lamidi Adeyemi III, noted that there was no other person alive who loved Oyo town more or had contributed more to its development than Ladigbolu.

“Let it be on record that there is no other person anywhere today, with the exception of late Alaafin Lamidi Adeyemi, who had done more for Oyo town than the person we’re celebrating today, Archbishop (Prince) Ayo Ladigbolu. This is a man who is living and breathing Oyo. There’s no single major development in Oyo, which does not bear his signature one way or another, Adeyemi said,”

Adeyemi added that he did not subscribe to celebrating great men after death, hence, his decision to celebrate Ladigbolu in his lifetime by naming the project in his honour.

In his remarks, Ladigbolu said it was a heartwarming coincidence that a project in his alma mater was named in his honour.

He attended Durbar Modern School, which later became Durbar Grammar School.

“Prince Akeem Adeyemi has represented us well. I can count no less than 111 projects that I have personally joined him to inaugurate in the last eight years. He no longer needs to campaign from house to house to solicit for votes. There is no single household in Oyo where his impact is not felt today,” Ladigbolu stated.
