Daini, at the commissioning of the new School Infrastructural Development, said investment in education is cardinal for any government to secure the future of its society. “From the start, our commitment to education at all levels in our area has never been in doubt.”
“Our focus on education is predicated on several complementary interventions, including physical infrastructure, technology, teacher and student welfare, and the reduction of the number of out-of-school children in the area,” he said.
He stated that, “Subsidy remover is a major issue that we are tackling in this country. And the data value allocation for federal, the state and local government has increased. Which is one of the major reasons why the local government can deliver this project within the space of six weeks.”
“We wouldn’t have done this if not for subsidy. The increase must have direct impacts on our people, on education, on health and general development of our community.” He added.
“In addition, we would be commissioning more projects, some of which are the Oreta Primary Health Center that we facilitated, a new Primary School in Oshorun area of Ibeshe, and the new Olu-Odo Primary School in Olu-Odo town. ” he said.
“We have equally focused on the provision of educational materials like exercise for over eleven thousand pupils across the 13 primary schools in Igbogbo/Baiyeku LCDA to ensure effective academic performance of our pupils. Daini added.
