By Emmanuel Daniji
Prince Kayode Olaide, an educationist and economist, through The Oba Adewamiri Olaide Memorial Foundation, in partnership with ÌBÍLẸ̀ Development Diaspora Initiative and Legends’ Educational and Intellectual Research Foundation, has commenced a free extra-tutorial programme for Senior Secondary School Three (SS3) students of Keme Balogun Senior College, Ibeshe, Ikorodu, Lagos State.
The initiative is aimed at strengthening students’ academic performance ahead of their external examinations.
The programme, which kicked off last Saturday, is scheduled to hold every Saturday from January 17 to April 25, 2026, between 11:15am and 4:00pm.
The tutorial sessions are structured into four lesson periods with a 30-minute break to ensure effective learning and sustained concentration. While most subjects run for one hour per period, Mathematics is allotted one hour and fifteen minutes.
According to the timetable, the first subject holds from 11:15am to 12:30pm, the second from 12:30pm to 1:30pm, followed by a break from 1:30pm to 2:00pm. The third and fourth sessions run from 2:00pm to 3:00pm and 3:00pm to 4:00pm respectively.
Subjects offered include English Language, Government, Literature in English, Biology, Accounting, and Commerce. Organisers noted that subjects will be rotated weekly based on the availability of volunteer teachers.
Attendance figures indicate strong student interest. Out of 256 SS3 students in the school, 196 attended the first session, with the number rising to 218 students by January 24, 2026.
Prince Kayode Olaide described the students as highly cooperative and enthusiastic, expressing confidence that more students would join subsequent sessions as feedback spreads among their peers.
Volunteer tutors were drawn from Prince Kayode Olaide’s protégés, members of the boards of the collaborating foundations, and teachers from Keme Balogun Senior College. Their participation was described as a reflection of collective commitment to educational development and youth empowerment.
Special appreciation was extended to Olu Oregbemi, Motunrayo Temitope Adebajo, and Adewunmi Olayinka for their dedication to the successful take-off of the programme.
The organisers also commended the school principal and teachers for their support and willingness to teach free of charge.
They offered prayers for divine reward upon all contributors and reaffirmed their commitment to initiatives that improve learning outcomes and build a brighter future for students in Ibeshe and its environs.
