Meanwhile, the EES President, Adeshina Luwoye revealed that the group would embark on inter-school debates among secondary school pupils in the Egba zone to inculcate moral values among the youths.
Luwoye who spoke on the theme of this year’s AGM: “The Future Is Now”, stressed that the group would strengthen the reading culture and instil moral discipline among the youths through academic interventions.
He said, “We have programmes that the AGM has approved that have to be implemented this year. One of them is the inter-school debate among secondary schools in Egbaland.
“Who are the icons that our youths are looking up to? They are musicians and area boys that have been promoted to active roles in the political area. But rather, that is not in the character of the Egba people. So, the inter-school debate is to bring back those eras where you are recognised and rewarded for your intellectual capacity.
“You see our youths today become glorified Okada riders; we see our children doing Yahoo; that’s not the future we want for our people. That’s why we want to bring back that culture where children can be on the radio, and television to show that they really got talent and they can also be rewarded for engaging in intellectual activity.”
