Speaking through its worldwide president, Isiaka Kareem, the association said it appreciated the governor for finding Adelami worthy of the exalted position.

Kareem listed the deputy governor’s outstanding contributions to the development of the school, his alma mater, as reason for bestowing on him, an award of excellence.

1979 year set coordinator, Tunde Owadimbola, said the school has produced many eminent personalities, who are now captains of industry and top public office holders, among whom is the current deputy governor of Ondo state, Olayide Adelami.

He noted, “Imade College is more than a school but a foundation that instills in students the core moral values of discipline, honesty, resilience and hardwork”
