It gives me great pleasure to write to you regarding my dreams and aspirations for your future. I
recognize that you are the treasure and the future of Ekiti State. I know that once you understand who
you are and the values inherent in you to make it happen, it will be easier for you to perform beyond
expectation.
As an Ekiti Student, I expect you to be;
Passionate - always serve the common good with all your heart.
Courageous - always lead the struggle for justice and equity
Industrious and hardworking – go the extra mile to get a job done
Knowledgeable – cherish the counsel of the wise and lead advancements in your field of human exploits
Honest – have integrity and value your good name more than all the riches in the world
Patriotic – you may travel far and wide but you must remain committed to the unity and progress of
Ekiti
Above all, you must remain HONOURABLE because you come from a land blessed with human and
natural resources. You are from Ekiti State, the Land of Honour (Ile Iyi, Ile Eye).
As you navigate through the world of studies and self-discovery, you must remember these core values
in all you say and do. I know you have all that it takes to succeed so, succeed you must. On my part, I will
put all the resources that I can muster at your disposal to ensure that you remain on this path to
greatness because I value you.
Be focused, determined, dedicated and diligent. By the grace of God, I will see you at the top.
Yours sincerely,
