This event didn’t hold in the year 2020 because of the deadlier Corona Virus pandemic and its recrudescence . Thanks to God that none of the indigenes and residents of ljurin – Ekiti has been consumed by the pandemic.
Despite COVID – 19 and its harmful implications on lives and economy in the year 2020, FEF distributed exercise books already procured for the 2020 ljurin day to school pupils in the three public primary schools in Ijurin-Ekiti. This Foundation donated books in English Language and Mathematics to all final year students of Ijurin Comprehensive High School in preparations toward 2020 external examinations .
