The founder of Abolarin College, Oke-Ila Orangun and the traditional ruler of the fast developing town, Oba Adedokun Abolarin has been expressing his joy over the successes being recorded by the products of the college in the past 10 years.
The ‘free-of-charge’ college, established by Oba Abolarin specifically for extremely brilliant children of the poor already has some of its product now making waves in different Nigerian universities. It is believed that a few have graduated already.
The Orangun of Oke-Ila, easily one the most educated traditional rulers in Africa (also a Lawyer) took to his Facebook page over the weekend to celebrate his scholars.
