“I want to thank not only the society, but all the dramatise personnel who have come to honour me today for this cherished award. I thank you all.”
She continues,” My commitment to knowledge acquisition is due to my believe that education is the key to societal growth and development.
“Not only that, it is also due to my believe in the saying that if you say education is too expensive try ingorance. Afterall, nothing kills like ignorance.”
The Regent, therefore, promised to continue to acquire more knowledge and contribute her quotas to educational advancement.
Concerning her educational development as a child, she had her primary education at Dynamic International Nur/Pry School Akure from where she moved to Police Secondary School, Ita-Ogbolu , Akure.
As someone who is naturally endowed with leadership qualities right from her early years in the school, she has been privileged to lead her mates and colleagues at various times and occasions.
These leadership abilities and intelligence were further tested and demonstrated when she was made the labour prefect in her set. Within all diligence and sense of service she performed her duties.
She proceeded to Achievers University Owo where she studied Medical laboratory Science.
Like a city set on a hill, she soon became popular within her class and beyond, known for her energetic, intelligence, smartness , confidence and leadership prowess.
All these and more earned her the trust of her lecturers and course mates and she elected the class representative, a position that was hitherto exclusively reserved for the male folks.
She was in that capacity till she became the Regent of Aaye after the demise of her father, Oba James Babalola Agbona.
She graduated honorably from the University and had her internship at the University of Medical Sciences Teaching Hospital, Akure.
Within the short period when she has been on the throne, a great deal of unprecedented strides have been seen in Aaye town. God has helped her to place the name of the town on the global map.
It is being reported that sons and daughters of the town have at one time or the other benefited rare privileges from both the state and Federal Government through her influence.
To continue contributing her quota to the growth of the community and to serve humanity at large, she has put the machinery in motion to launch a foundation to cater for the needs of the Girl-child and rural women after she leaves the throne.
As a devout Christian, she believes God is the ultimate source of all strength and inspirations
