He said: "Our visit to Erin-Ijesa was an avenue to learn about God outside the four corners of our classrooms and we also used the excursion to ease the pressure on us as we prepared for our examinations."The president could not hide his excitement about the whole scenery as he enthused: "Though, it is a little bit scary up there, I enjoyed myself, truly, God is wonderful!"Earlier, the association paid a courtesy visit to the Palace of Ooni of Ife, Alayeluwa Oba Okunade Sijuwade, Olubuse II, where they caught a glimpse of the origin of Yorubaland.The students were taken round the significance places in the palace, especially the Wisdom Residence where presidents of the country, governors and chiefs used to pray for victory, success and favour in their respective endeavours.
