Former Osun State Governor, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, revealed that his father, who served as the Olokuku of Okuku, warned him and his 63 siblings not to rely on inheriting his wealth.

Speaking at the orientation programme for the pioneer students at his newly established Alolade Oyinlola College of Health Sciences and Information Technology in Okuku, Osun State, Oyinlola emphasized the importance of education in an ever-changing world.

Addressing the students, he said: “We are laying the foundation for excellence in health science and information technology education, and your names will forever be etched as the pioneers of this institution.”

He added: “This is my own contribution to education. When I was young before my father who was a king died, he told us that if any child thinks he will inherit any wealth after his demise such a child is wasting his time because all he was giving in terms of wealth and inheritance is education.

“We are 64 children with me 43rd and it was his vision of being committed to education that sustained the family till today. My father has been dead for 64 years, nobody has even thought of sharing any of his property.”

He urged the students to stay focused, committed, and disciplined in their studies, assuring that “innovative curriculum, hands-on learning experiences, and dedicated faculty are designed to arm you with the skills and knowledge to make a lasting impact in today’s evolving world.”

He disclosed: “For Alolade University, I believe that we will scale through the approval stage, we are just waiting for the Federal Executive Council’s approval.”
