The management of Abraham Adesanya Polytechnic (AAPOLY), Ijebu-Igbo, has expressed appreciation to Rt. Hon. Adesegun Abdel-Majid Adekoya, popularly known as Attacker, the Aremo of Ago-Iwoye and Bobasuwa of Ijebu-Igbo, for facilitating the handover of a Prince Senator Buruji Kashamu (PSBK) Skill Acquisition Center to the institution for effective management and operation.
The management thanked and appreciated the former lawmaker for his contribution to the development of the institution and his continued interest in supporting skills acquisition and youth development.
The PSBK Skill Acquisition Center was built during Rt. Hon. Adekoya’s tenure as a member of the House of Representatives, where he represented the Ijebu North/Ijebu East/Ogun Waterside Federal Constituency.
The project was named in honour of the late Prince Senator Buruji Kashamu, the former Senator representing Ogun East Senatorial District and an illustrious son of Ijebu-Igbo, in recognition of his memory and legacy.
The centre is expected to provide opportunities for practical training, skills development and empowerment, particularly for young people seeking to acquire useful vocational and technical skills.
