The Akran of Badagry, De Aholu Menu-Toyi I, on Wednesday laid
the foundation of the first e-Library in his domain at the Badagry Grammar
School, Badagry, Lagos State.
The naijaroyaltyculture.blogspot.com
reports that the foundation laying was part of the activities commemorating the
40th coronation anniversary of the Akran, a former journalist who ascended the
throne in 1977.
He said that the
completion of the e-Library would help to improve the education of students and
youths in the area.
This would be the first
e-Library in Badagry and I’m glad that we are laying the foundation for it
because we are determined to improve the quality of education for our youths.
The library will assist
our students in their research work and also help in broadening their
knowledge, which will in turn improve their intellect.
I’m excited to key into
this project because it is for my people and will help in developing their
future,” he said.
The monarch expressed
gratitude to the residents of Badagry for their continuous support to him. I
have been on the throne for 40 years and I couldn’t have done that without the
support of my people.
It is a thing of joy
celebrating this milestone and I hope to keep on finding new ways to improve
the lives of my people,” he said.
The royal father appealed
to Nigerians to keep supporting the policies of the Federal Government.
Mr Aporo Mautin,
Principal of Badagry Grammar School, applauded the initiative, saying it would
go a long way in improving the education of the students.
The e-library will help
in expanding the research of the students, help in enhancing their thinking and
boost their performance,” he said.
NAN reports that a road,
formerly known as Market Road was renamed Aholu Menu-Toyi 1 Road in honour of
the Akran.
