Ajilete, traditionally associated with Ilé Ìmọ́, represents knowledge, understanding and wisdom.
The Yorùbá concept of Ìmọ́ relates to knowledge and understanding. The quarter's identity therefore provides an opportunity to celebrate the knowledge acquired through education, experience, tradition and the wisdom of elders.
The history of Ajilete is preserved through the people who have lived, worked and contributed to the community over generations.
Its heritage reminds younger members of the importance of learning from both formal education and the accumulated wisdom of previous generations.
