Akinlabi Taiwo, continued his sensitization and confidence-building visits to schools within the community.

During a visit to Nawair-Ud-Deen Grammar School, Obantoko, Hon. Taiwo addressed students on the importance of discipline as a foundation for academic success and responsible citizenship. He emphasized that discipline remains one of the most valuable qualities any student can possess, as it shapes character, promotes excellence, and prepares young people for future leadership roles.

Speaking further, the Chairman warned against the dangers of moral decadence, noting that negative behaviors such as disrespect, cultism, drug abuse, dishonesty, and other social vices can derail the future of promising youths. He encouraged the students to uphold good values, remain focused on their studies, and become positive ambassadors of their families and communities.
