Osun Guber: Education’ll be a Devt Enabler, Says Akin Ogunbiyi

The governorship aspirant of the Peoples’ Democratic Party in Osun State, Dr. Akin Ogunbiyi, has declared that his education agenda for the state would rest on three strong pillars.

The pillars, according to Ogunbiyi, are the provision of functional educational system, with facility and resources made available; attainment of education for every child in the state; and a programme anchored on technological advancement.

He said the pursuit of this agenda would ensure that no child is left behind as good and sound education only engenders a society that is at once vibrant and progressive, insisting that the stifling environment and lack of basic tools of education continue to deprive Osun State and, indeed, Nigeria, the benefit of harnessing the poten- tial greatness of the Nigerian child.

The aspirant made this known in a press statement titled, ‘Creating a Conducive Environment for Educational Advancement of Children in Osun State’.

According to him, “the frustrating environment in Nigeria is the reason why some of us have decided to change the process and contribute our quota.

“There’s a young man in my community who has become a wonderful role model in dedication, steadfastness and perseverance. He was in the past wrongly described as a fanatic, religious bigot and extremist but far from that, he’s not. I found him to be a devout Muslim and a very responsible young man. It was these qualities that propelled our foundation to work with him pursuant to going overseas.
