The Eesa of Omu – Aran in Irepodun local government area of Kwara State, Chief AbdulRazaq Oyinloye, has donated a block of three classrooms to Omu-Aran Muslim Primary School.
The classrooms which were fully equipped with furnished desks, chairs and boards were donated to the school through the Aro Bamgbose Foundation with support from the Bank of Industry (BOI).
