PRESIDENT’S SPEECH AT THE ADCDA FREE EXTRA-MORAL LESSON 2026 PRIZE-GIVING DAY
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem.
Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
Our respected elders, parents, teachers, sponsors, members of the Education Committee, members of our community, and our dear students, I warmly welcome you all to this special occasion.
Today is a very important day for us as a community. We are gathered here to celebrate our students, appreciate their efforts and reward them for their performance in the Extra-Moral Lesson Program.
As a community, we believe strongly in the importance of education and in giving our children the support they need to succeed. This was one of the reasons we established the *ADCDA Education Committee* Trust Fund last year, to support the educational needs of students across the Alore Descendants Community.
Alhamdulillah, with the support we received, we were able to assist five students with the payment of their WAEC, JAMB and NECO examination fees. We are happy with this achievement, and we pray that we will be able to support more students in the years ahead.
I want to sincerely appreciate those who have supported this initiative, especially Alh. Kamaldeen Adio, Alh. Razak Amubieya, Alh. Lukman Onimindin, Dr. Yunus Abdulraheem Otiripo and others. I also appreciate everyone who has contributed in one way or another. May Allah reward you all abundantly.
I must also appreciate our teachers for their dedication and sacrifice, the Education Committee for their hard work, and our parents and the entire community for their support.
To our students, I congratulate you all. The prizes you are receiving today are not just rewards, but encouragement to do even better. Please take your education seriously, respect your parents and teachers, and remain focused. Your success is a source of pride for your families and for the entire Alore community.
As President of ADCDA, I want to assure everyone that education will continue to receive our attention. We will continue to support initiatives that will benefit our children and contribute to the development of our community.
Once again, I thank everyone who has contributed to the success of this program. May Allah continue to bless our community, bless our children, reward our teachers and sponsors, and give us the strength and resources to do more.
Jazakumullahu Khairan.
