Maiden Project of the Professor Peter Olufemi Adeniyi Foundation (PPOAF)
Date: 27th November 2025
The Professor Peter Olufemi Adeniyi Foundation (PPOAF) proudly marked a historic milestone with the successful commissioning of the fully upgraded Egbeoba High School Library—a renewal project designed to elevate learning, strengthen digital literacy, and provide a modern educational environment for the entire Egbeoba High School community in Ikole-Ekiti.
BEFORE THE INTERVENTION: THE NEED FOR REVIVAL
Before PPOAF’s intervention, the library space had become outdated, under-equipped, and unable to support 21st-century learning demands. Shelves were weak, books were limited, the digital section was non-functional, and the environment no longer reflected a conducive learning atmosphere.

This reality inspired the Foundation’s vision to give Egbeoba High School a library that truly matches the aspirations of its students and teachers.

His Excellency, Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji (BAO),
