MY VISION FOR OYO INSHALLAH

Oyo Town is an ancient City unarguably occupying a position of historical prominence, cultural relevance and religious pace setting pedigree and antecedents incomparable to any city or town in the whole Yoruba land, and with this I stand corrected

I therefore bidhnillah pledge to present all the intellectual resources, Islamic knowledge, in the field of doctrinal sciences and jurisprudential fields coupled with my mental levelheadedness devoid of fundamentalism, extremism and baseless indoctrination in the practice of Islam inshallah

Oyo Town should have a scholar with firm grasp of the tenets, ethics , morals and ethiquette of Islam and the expectation of the entire Muslim Ummat Muslims .
He should in addition be a person of cerebral ingenuity and tested maturity to resolve with due diligence, excellent competence and impartial disposition of any disagreement arising from anywhere as a result of unavoidable human intercourses

May Allah tabaaraka wa taha'la continue to prosper Oyo Town, protect, preserve and bless our king His Imperial Majesty Abdul Hakeem Owoade.Amin

Long life ALAFIN of Oyo kingdom
Long live Oyo Town
Long live Oyo state
God bless the federal Republic of Nigeria
Amin

At OGF, we believe every child deserves a fair chance - not just to attend school, but to thrive in it.

Weeks ago, our Education Secretary, Taiwo Sunday Timothy noticed a pupil at Anglican Grammar School, Oyo, struggling to stay engaged in class due to a lack of basic school materials. With support from one of our members, we stepped in to provide a full set of school supplies, including new uniforms, school bag, chair, and writing materials.

Today, he’s back in class - not just as a student, but as a symbol of what is possible when a community stands together. And we look forward the greatness that lies ahead of him.

We share this, not to celebrate the giving, but to reaffirm our mission: nurturing the human potential that defines Oyo’s future.



A New Oyo Is Possible!

Mr Taiwo Sunday Timothy is the OGF's Education Publicity Secretary and the mastermind behind the project coordination and management of the Enterprise Bootcamp 2025.
