Molusi College Junior, Ijebu-Igbo, has emerged as the Best School (Junior Category) in Ogun State, clinching a ₦10 million grant from the state government in recognition of its outstanding performance and commitment to educational excellence.

The honour, announced during the 2025 Ogun State Education Excellence and Merit Awards, marks a major milestone for the school, which has consistently distinguished itself through discipline, innovative teaching, and strong academic culture.

The ₦10 million grant is expected to support infrastructural development, capacity building, and learning enhancement initiatives within the institution, further strengthening its position as one of Ogun State’s leading public schools.

In a related recognition, Miss Hassan Abiola Oyindamola, a dedicated teacher at Molusi College Junior, also earned state-level acclaim by finishing as 2nd Runner-Up in the 2025 Ogun State Best Teacher (Junior Category). Her award celebrates exceptional classroom performance, mentorship, and innovation in teaching.

School authorities described the twin honours as a reward for years of teamwork, commitment, and a shared vision of excellence.

“This achievement is a reflection of our teachers’ passion and our students’ determination,” a member of the school’s management said. “We’re proud of Miss Hassan Abiola’s personal recognition, which reflects the strength of our teaching staff.”

The management further expressed gratitude to the Molusi College Old Students’ Association (MOCOSA) for its steady support and contribution to the school’s growth. According to the statement, the association’s interventions in infrastructure, mentoring, and educational programs have been pivotal to sustaining high standards.

Observers say the recognition of both the school and its teacher underscores the progress being made in public education in Ogun State, where targeted reforms continue to reward performance and innovation at the grassroots level.

Founded in 1949, Molusi College remains one of the most respected secondary schools in the Ijebu division, with a legacy of producing distinguished professionals and leaders across Nigeria and beyond.
