ENGR.SOSANWO ADEOLA(SAS) COMMENDED GOV. DAPO ABIODUN FOR RENOVATING REMO SECONDARY SCHOOL BOYS AND GIRLS HOSTELS PRIOR AIONIANS GAME

The executive Governor of Ogun State, Prince Dapo Abiodun in build-up for 2021 AIONIAN, responded to SAS message from the National President of Old Student Association of Remo Secondary School Sagamu request for renovation last week.

Engr. Adeola Sosanwo being the President of REMO SECONDARY SCHOOL OLD STUDENT ASSOCIATION (RSSOSA) called the attention of his excellency Prince Dapo Abiodun (MFR) in giving a new face to depleting buildings set to host a foremost secondary schools sport competition, the AIONIANS.

In preparation for the competition which brings twelve (12) secondary schools in Nigeria for sports, the Old Students President said, "there are no constraints on the human mind, no walls around the human spirit, no barriers to our progress except those we ourselves erect".

In March 1930, the principals of four voluntary agency schools in the Western Region of Nigeria attended a meeting at St. Andrew's College, Oyo. The Principals were those of Abeokuta Grammar School (the Late Rev. W.R.B. Kuye). Ibadan Grammar School (the Late Bishop A.B. Akinyele), Ondo Boys High School (the Late Canon M.C. Adeyemi) and Ijebu Ode Grammar School (the Late Rev. I.O. Ransome-Kuti),.

        It was at this meeting that the founder and principal of Ondo Boys High School, Ondo suggested that the four schools should form a brotherhood and hold Annual Sport Competitions. The other principals gladly accepted the suggestion and the name AIONIAN was coined by putting together the initial of all the four schools A-Abeokuta, I-Ijebu-ode, O!Ondo and I-Ibadan, while AN was added to the coinage to make it adjectival.

          In 1942, Oduduwa College, Ile-Ife and Ilesa grammar Schools joined the group.

          Remo Secondary School, Sagamu became a member in 1949, Imade College, Owo and Victory College, Ikare, Akoko were given membership in 1951. Yewa (Egbado) College, Ilaro joined in 1954 which Manuwa Memorial Grammar School, Ijebu-Ode and Odeomu Anglican School became members in 1958, to bring the membership to 12schools.

          These 12 Secondary Schools used to conduct Annual Common Entrance Examination while the Sports meeting served as the Annual Re-union Festival. The First Sports meeting served as the Annual Re-Union Festival. The First Sport Festival was held in 1931; it was through the AIONIAN festival that sporting competitions came to the limelight in Nigeria.

          The AIONIAN festival was the forerunner of all others. The Grier Cup, the Principal’s Cup etc. In 1991, quiz and essay competitions among the various AIONIAN schools were introduced. The best students in Science, Art, Commercial and Technical Subjects in the most recent Senior School Certificate Examinations among the AIONIAN schools usually wins an academic award of the Brotherhood for the particular year.

DISABILITY IS AN AVENUE FOR A NEW CHAPTER DISCOVERY

It's not just the spinal cord injury that kills the patients but sometimes especially in our part of the world, the neglect, rejection, the bitterness and depression they develop as a result of people's attitude and approach.

Being a spinal cord injury patient doesn't mean an end to their lives, it's just a closed chapters to some pages of their life and a new chapter opened to discoveries of many other great things they could do to impact the world positively.

Kudos to every strong man and woman who are fighters, we love you and are super proud of what you are making of your life.
