In his appreciation speech, Fakeye, CEO of Ajede Crew, thanked the royal father, chairman, dignitaries, and guests for their support.
Four students graduated from Ajede Crew—MC Gold, Yeyemeso, Kola Omo Adekola, and Ola Olaribigbe—and were presented with certificates.Several awards also punctuated the event.
