The public presentation of four books written by Mr. Oyelayo Kabir Oyebanji would be held on Friday October 16, 2015 at St Peter’s Anglican School, Oluponna, Osun State. The four books are Drugs and the youths: Challenges of sustainable national development; The Pathway; Whose Fault and Witch, Wizard or Drug.

While the Chief Launcher of the book is the Chairman of Christ The King International Group, Otunba Julius Akinlabi, the book reviewers are Dr. Olumide Olajide and Dr. Chris Omoregie, both lecturers at the Department of Adult Education, University of Ibadan. The Chairman of the Day is a former Member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Bade Falade while the Father of the Day is the Chairman of B.A. Adigun and Associate, Dr. (Chief) Benjamin Adigun. The Royal Father of the Day is Oba Emmanual Oyeleso Oyebamiji, Fadare 11, the Olupo of Oluponna. 
  
Commenting on one of the books, Whose Fault, a play, Assistant Editor/Presidential Villa Correspondent of Daily Trust Newspapers, Isiaka Wakil said that the play depicts the genesis of moral decadence in the human society and teaches the younger generation lessons that would, if imbibed, prepare them for a better future. “It is an interesting piece for anyone desirous of a society devoid of corruption, atrocities and criminalities.”
  
Also commenting on the book, Whose Fault, Pastor P. Akacjukwu noting that when an institution of moral bankruptcy is established, the whole nation is in doom, said that Oyelayo has taken preaching of virtues away from religious priests. “If we will not learn it in a hard way, we must all read and imbibe lessons in this piece.”  
  
The Pathway is one of the books. And The Coordinator, Citizenship and Leadership Training Centre, Forest School, Aluu, Port Harcourt, Ebiwari Elehibiri, described it as a commendable work and a fine masterpiece which beautifully chronicles an ideal mindset for the average Nigerian who conscientiously desires knowledge and information that would lead him to an ideal pathway.
   
On his part, the HRM M. Die-Isotu, King Abah Ogivente, Okaan-Obolo, Obolo Kingdom, Rivers State, also said The Pathway is a patriot and an optimist conception and conviction of the emergence of Nigeria and Nigerians out of the woods in time to come. “Thus it is a call to all Nigerians, young and old to work assiduously towards this end.”
