The government of Ogun State has said it will
accord priority attention to education with the aim of providing good
and qualitative education for youths of the state.
The Secretary to the state government, Mr. Taiwo Adeoluwa, who represented the state governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, stated this in Abeokuta while addressing a delegation of students’ union governments of the state owned tertiary institutions on Thursday.
Adeoluwa said the government, in spite of inheriting a “mind-boggling debt profile” and unpaid workers’ salaries, had been able to address some of the problems inherited, especially in the areas of prompt payment of salaries and allowances and subventions to all the schools in the state.
While responding to the request of the students’ union delegation for downward review of their school fees, the SSG stressed that the state government had cancelled the “prohibitive increment” in tuition by the last administration, adding that 10 per cent was also deducted from the tuition introduced by various heads of tertiary institutions in the state.
