“As a family, we are devoted to keeping Gbemiga’s vision alive, turning grief into growth and ensuring his light continues to shine through the success of others,” he said in a post shared on his official X handle.
He added that as an administration, Ogun State remains committed to building a future where every child has access to quality, technology-driven education through programmes such as OGSERA (Ogun State Education Revitalization Agenda) and DiPER (Digital Programme for Education Reform).
Abiodun also expressed gratitude to the Gbemiga Abiodun Foundation, the Ministry of Education, and other partners for sustaining the noble cause.
New Telegraph recalls that Gbemiga Abiodun, the late son of Governor Dapo Abiodun, died in October 2017 at the age of 25.
Known popularly as DJ Olu, he was found dead alongside a friend in a car in Lagos.
