In a significant advancement for Yoruba language education, the Ondo State Government has officially approved *Akọ́mọnímọ̀ Èdè àti Gírámà Yorùbá*, a grammar textbook authored by Mike Kuwoye, for use by Junior Secondary School (JSS) students in the state.
The author, expressing his profound gratitude, thanked God Almighty, the State Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology, as well as Pastor Sam Moyebi for their invaluable support.
“I extend my sincere appreciation to the Ondo State Government and all who made this achievement possible,” Kuwoye said.
The textbook, designed for JSS 1-3 students, was launched on 10 October 2022, alongside Brenda The Pretty Lady. Notably, Brenda The Pretty Lady, originally introduced to the education sector at its launch, has also been approved as part of a supplementary list for JSS 1, marking yet another milestone in Kuwoye’s literary contributions.

Kuwoye has served as Media Aide to the former chairman of the Ondo State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), as well as to the former Secretary to the State Government of Ondo State. He is the author of several notable works, including *Ẹ̀kọ Funfun, The Married Bachelor, Àdùkẹ́ Ọmọ Òrukàn*, and *Path to Freedom*. His contributions to media and literature have earned him multiple awards and accolades.
