The Ogun State Institute of Technology (OGITECH), Igbesa, is set for a major infrastructural boost following a significant philanthropic gesture from His Royal Majesty, Oba Itu Olasunkanmi Yusuf (Ilemobade I), the Onigboko of Igboko Kingdom
During an official visit to the institution on Friday, February 20, 2026, the monarch announced the donation of a standard, ultra-modern tennis court. The project is designed to transform the campus into a premier hub for both athletic excellence and social cohesion.
Oba Yusuf, popularly known as Kiniwun dawo ija tele, highlighted that the initiative stems from his commitment to fostering a healthy academic environment. A self-described "youthful" monarch and active follower of the Polytechnic’s digital progress, he commended the Management for aligning with the Ogun State Government’s "Building Our Future Together" agenda.
"I have observed the level of development put in place by the Management, and I am committed to supporting this vision by enhancing physical infrastructure and human capital," the Monarch stated during the site inspection.
The Rector of the Institute, Dr. Abiodun Oluseye, represented by the Acting Registrar, Mrs. Sakirat Olajumoke Johnson, received the monarch with profound gratitude. She noted that the donation is both timely and strategic, addressing several institutional needs:
Accreditation & Administration: Sporting facilities are a mandatory requirement for upcoming administrative exercises and general institutional standards.
Wellness and Synergy: The court will provide a dedicated space for staff and students to engage in physical exercise, promoting wellness and networking.
Community Partnership: The gesture marks a strengthening of the bond between traditional leadership and the academic community in the Igboko-Lusada axis.
The official handover of the site marks the commencement of construction, further positioning OGITECH as a leading destination for well-rounded technical education in Ogun State.
