Osun State governor, Ademola Adeleke, has called on the residents of the state to give the First Lady Oluremi Tinubu a rousing reception during her visit to the state on Tuesday.

Mr Adeleke, in a statement on Monday in Osogbo by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, said the state government was set to receive Senator Tinubu and her team in Osun.

“I am elated to host our dear First Lady and my old colleague at the Senate. Our people must troop out to welcome her,” he was quoted as saying.

The governor explained that the First Lady deserved a rousing welcome for endorsing Osun as the location for the Alternative High School For Girls.

The governor added that his wife, Titilayo, would host Mrs Oluremi during the visit.

During the visit, Senator Oluremi would turn the sod of the construction of the Alternative High School For Girls.

The school is located at Oke D.O, Ilesha Road in Osogbo.
