He highlighted Olukoya’s initiatives, including the construction of a Microbiology Laboratory at FUTA, the provision of scholarships, and monetary rewards for First-Class graduates, as significant contributions to youth development.
“The award conferred on Olukoya is well deserved. He has demonstrated selfless service to humanity through mentoring, prayers, and other means. His contributions inspire young people to strive for excellence in their careers and become valuable members of society,” Aiyedatiwa said.
