This gesture was met with joy and gratitude from the recipients, who were visibly thrilled to receive the thoughtful gifts. The school bags are expected to help the young students carry their books and learning materials with ease as they head back to school.

In addition to the Royal Queen's presentation, Prof. Taiwo Adenegan and Dr. Kehinde Adenegan were also called by the church vicar to make a significant impact by presenting customized notebooks, pencils, and pens to students across various levels of education.

During the event, the atmosphere was filled with excitement as students received their gifts. Many expressed their gratitude and enthusiasm for the new school year, feeling more motivated and prepared to tackle the challenges ahead. Parents in attendance also expressed their appreciation for the church’s efforts, noting that such gestures help ease the financial burden of preparing children for school.

As the students return to school with renewed enthusiasm and the necessary tools, the church’s initiative is expected to have a lasting impact on their academic performance and overall development.

The items presentation brought a sense of hope and optimism, as students looked forward to the new academic session with the knowledge that they have the support of their community.
