Miss Ogunsemowo Oluwafunmilayo Gloria (daughter), to support her education
Mr. Ogunsemowo Michael Adebola (son), an undergraduate
Mrs. Ogunsemowo Adeyinka Alirat (wife), to strengthen the family’s financial stability
“Supporting this family is not just a duty, it is a reflection of our collective gratitude for the sacrifices Mr. Ogunsemowo made in the service of our community,” he said.
The outreach extended further during a condolence stop at the residence of Mrs. Adeleye Grace, popularly known as Iya Teacher, the deceased’s older sister.
There, Otunba Anomo announced the employment of Mr. Oluaja Femi, a trained science educator, who has now been posted to Molajoye Senior Secondary School to contribute to the educational development of the area.
“This is our way of not only honoring the memory of a remarkable leader but also empowering the living and investing in the future of our LCDA,” he added.
The visit was a deeply touching gesture that combined remembrance with meaningful support, a hallmark of Otunba Anomo’s people-focused leadership and dedication to community welfare.
