The organising committee of the One-Day Chairman of Ibarapa North Local Government initiative has rescheduled the programme from October 8, 2026 to October 15, 2026, in honour of the late Imam of Igangan-land.
The change of date was contained in a statement issued by the organising committee, chaired by the Supervisory Councillor for Education, Hon. Agbeje Simisoluwa, and made available to Corefront News on Tuesday.
The initiative was, according to the organizers, put together to celebrate Olanrele Tumininu Dasola, who emerged as the winner of the Essay and Debate Competition organised by the Executive Chairman of Ibarapa North Local Government, Hon. Lateef Adebare Lawal (Akorede).
The organizers said the decision to change the date was made to honour the late Imam of Igangan-land, late Sheikh Abdul Azeez Fasasi, whose 8th-day Fidau prayer coincided with the date initially scheduled for the educational programme.
The organisers apologised for any inconvenience the rescheduling might cause members of the public and participants.
The initiative is aimed at rewarding academic excellence, exposing young people to governance, leadership and public service, and inspiring students to remain diligent in their studies.
