Wale Aribatise, a Liberty Academy alumnus from Ibadan, has called on Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde to urgently come to the aid of the school, whose roofs have been blown away by a rainstorm.
In a statement titled ‘SOS to Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State’, the Ekiti State-based alumnus said, “Rainstorms on June 8, 2025, removed the roofs of many classrooms and other buildings at Liberty Academy, Ibadan. The incident has been reported to the Oyo State Government for urgent attention and action, but as of today, the state ministries of education and/or of Works are yet to take any proactive step to remedy the deplorable situation.”
“I do not want to believe that the Government of Oyo State does not attend to distress calls and emergencies unless it touches people they know directly! This school belongs to the Government of Oyo State. Information has it that the students in Oyo State shall resume by mid-September 2025, while the damaged buildings remain without renovation now. I appeal to the Governor of Oyo State, His Excellency Seyi Makinde, to speedily attend to this emergency through renovation of the damaged buildings in the school before the fast-approaching resumption date,” Aribatise added.
