Hon. Temilolu Nurudeen Ashamu (Seun TNA) has urged graduating students to embrace discipline, character and continuous learning as they prepare for life beyond the classroom.
Ashamu gave the charge while serving as Chairman of the 2026 Valedictory Service of Emmanuel Alayande University of Education Model High School, Oyo, where he congratulated the graduating students on reaching an important milestone in their academic journey.
Speaking on the importance of education, he encouraged the students to see learning as a lifelong pursuit, reminding them that success is shaped not only by academic achievement but also by exposure, resilience and strong values.
