On assumption of office, Governor Dapo Abiodun met a near-comatose educational sector that flailed and floundered under insufficient funding, irregular promotion of teachers, inadequate infrastructure, and unfavourable learning conditions among others.
Promptly, the governor declared a state of emergency in the sector and designed a policy framework that has revolutionised the sector. Three years after, education is experiencing a new lease of life in Ovun State.
It was with obvious glee and gladness that Governor Abiodun announced recently that his administration has moved basic education from its inglorious state as at 2019 with investments in infrastructure, recruitment of good teachers, and reinvigoration of the monitoring system in the schools.
Not surprisingly because, since he assumed office, Governor Abiodun has given priority to education in the state. Until then, the sector had suffered neglect by previous administrations.
In the last three years, the Prince Dapo Abiodun-led Administration has revamped the education sector through infrastructural renovation of over 1000 public primary and secondary schools across the 236 wards and all 20 local government areas of the State.
Here are some pictures showing the condition in which we met those public schools and their present look:
