- Kayode Fasua in Abeokuta

Ogun State governor, Dapo Abiodun, yesterday announced the transforma­tion of the Tai Solarin College of Education, Omu-Ijebu, to Sikiru Adetona College of Science, Education and Technology.

Abiodun, who noted education had played an important role in the developmen­t of the state, said his administra­tion would continue to focus on science and technology education, to boost technologi­cal developmen­t of Ogun.

The governor equally declared that his government would set up a Special Task Force to deal with the menace of cultism, not only in the educationa­l institutio­ns, but all the nooks and crannies of the state.

Abiodun made these known yesterday at the All Progressiv­es Congress (APC) campaign for the forthcomin­g council’s poll, held at Odogbolu town, Odogbolu Local Government

Area.

He maintained that his administra­tion would no longer tolerate cultism and its attendant destructiv­e activities in the state.

According to him, cult activities would henceforth be regarded as a sabotage to the state, emphasisin­g that his government was determined to put a stop to it.

“I am happy that today no one is shooting, you can all see that the political temperatur­e of

Ogun State is so low, there is rest of mind, no problem, we are all going about our work.

“All those involved in cultism should repent because if we catch them, they will face the full wrath of the law. I am setting up a Special Taskforce on Cultism because we are working towards making this state number one state in this country, and any attempt to undermine that by way of cultism is an act of sabotage and we will put an end to it.”
