As part of its commitment to holistic education and impactful outreach, the Adenike Kayode Fabunmi International Foundation (AKFIF) organized an inspiring educational tour to two of Ogun State’s most historic landmarks: Olumo Rock and St. Peter’s Anglican Church, Ake, Abeokuta. This extraordinary journey was designed to blend learning, cultural exploration, and inspiration, providing AKFIF members with a transformative experience.

Exploring the Iconic Olumo Rock

The visit to Olumo Rock was nothing short of remarkable. Participants were guided through the rich history and cultural significance of the site, which has long served as a symbol of strength and unity. The rock, historically a refuge for the Egba people during times of war, offered AKFIF members a window into the resilience and courage of Nigeria’s ancestors.

Members were particularly excited to learn and relearn about the sacred rock, delving into its natural features such as the ancient caves, carvings, and traditional shrines. Climbing the rock and walking the same paths as those who once found safety there brought history to life in a way no classroom ever could. Standing at the summit, with a panoramic view of Abeokuta, was a moment of pride and reflection for many, as they connected deeply with Nigeria’s cultural and natural heritage.

A Visit to the First Church in Nigeria

The journey continued to St. Peter’s Anglican Church, Ake, the first church in Nigeria, established in 1844. Here, participants learned about the origins of Christianity in the country and the church’s enduring role in shaping the spiritual foundation of the region. The historical significance of the church was matched by its architectural beauty, offering AKFIF members a profound appreciation for this sacred site.

The visit to the church highlighted how faith, perseverance, and cultural integration played pivotal roles in the nation’s development. Members marveled at the preserved relics and stories that have stood the test of time, leaving them with renewed spiritual inspiration.

A Memorable Experience for All

This dual-site tour was more than just a trip—it was a journey of discovery. It underscored AKFIF’s mission to provide meaningful learning experiences that go beyond conventional education. The enthusiasm of participants was palpable as they explored, asked questions, and reflected on the significance of what they saw. For many, it was an opportunity to connect with their roots, rediscover their heritage, and draw inspiration from the resilience and faith of past generations.

Through initiatives like this, AKFIF continues to empower its members to embrace opportunities for growth, knowledge, and community engagement. The tour to Olumo Rock and St. Peter’s Anglican Church left attendees with lasting memories, a stronger sense of identity, and a renewed passion for learning and personal development.
