By Omolara Olowotoro

Permanent Secretary of Osun State Universal Basic Education Board and a front- line community leader, Alhaji Fatai Kolawole has again bagged another award based on his enormous contributions to education and human development.

The award was conferred on him by the Association of Islamic Model Schools, a conglomerate of Islamic faith-based private schools in Osun.

The honour was conferred on him on November 12 at the GMT Event Centre, Ring-Road, Osogbo, where dignitaries from all walks of life including Islamic scholars attended the programme.

While pouring encomium on the PS boss, the State Chairman of the Association of Islamic Model Schools, Mallam Shakrullah Yaqin said the association decided to celebrate him because of many important roles he has played in bringing the association to a limelight, most especially during the early days of the association when it was seeking the needed recognition from the government and related agencies.

Other awardees were the deputy Governor of the State, Mr Titi Laoye-Tomori; Commissioner for Education in the State, Alhaji Omotunde Young; Mrs. Olajumoke Bello, a retired Permanent Secretary; Alhaji Kola Adefajo and Alhaji Omisore Rahmat who was the pioneer Chairperson of AMIS Osun among others.

It would be recalled that on October 28, 2018, the Baptist Church of Nigeria, Emmanuel Chapel, Oke-Ayepe, Osogbo, presented an award of excellence in public service to Alhaji Kolawole where the Pastor-in-charge of the church, Reverend Laolu Akande also lauded the many innovations and initiatives including the far reaching reforms the government of the state has introduced to the educational sector in the state.
