Led by Obabinrin Mojisola Ajegbemi Macaulay and Oloja of Lagos representing Oba Kosoko, Prince Folajimi Kosoko, the rally took off from the school podium with brief stop by at the Directorate of Students Affairs, 700-seaters auditorium, and the library complex where the Deputy Vice Chancellor of Lagos State University of Science and Technology (LASUSTECH), Dr. Kolawole Godonu, addressed the elated students on behalf of the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Olumuyiwa Odusanya whom he claimed to be on courtesy visit to some Obas in Ikorodu.

“Let me apologize on behalf of the Vice Chancellor. There are so many things on his table. This morning, he just went to see the Obas as there are son many things to attend to.” Dr. Godonu said.

He further commended the students for peaceful conduction of the rally while appreciating the royal guests for joining the celebration.

“I want to thank our elders who have come to join you in this celebration. You are very welcomed. I also want to thank you for the way you are going peacefully about this.” He added.
