Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State has disclosed his administration’s resolve to commence refurbishment of public schools in the state, urging for support and cooperation of the School-Based Management Committees.
Obaseki disclosed this during a training for School-Based Management Committee of Emotan Primary School in Benin City, Edo State, on Thursday.
Obaseki said that the state government would work in agreement with the committee, communities and other relevant stakeholders on the refurbishment of schools, noting, “President Muhammadu Buhari, through the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC), has provided enough fund to embark on this purpose. Massive revamp will commence in the state soon.”
The governor said the School-Based Management Committees would include members of the communities, parents and stakeholders in the governance and administration of schools across the state, as they will act as catalysts for progress.
He added that his administration had decided to revamp the state’s basic education system, noting, “If I achieved nothing as governor of Edo State, I want it to be on record that I came and turned around the basic education system in Edo State for good.”
He continued, “The Edo Basic Education Sector Transformation (Edo-BEST) programme was introduced to enable us go back to the foundation which must be solid as this will enable our children to face the challenges ahead.
“What is taught in the first six to nine years of education will certainly affect the child, as it will become difficult to cope with the challenges of life if they get it wrong at that level.”
The governor maintained that for such a system to work, the schools must be run properly, and the head teachers should be able to monitor the teachers daily using Information Communication Technology (ICT) gadgets.
“We can’t play politics with education and the lives of our children. The whole idea of creating multiple schools to have multiple head teachers is not right. We can’t have three schools in one premise; it will not work. For those schools that need to be merged, we will merge them and continue to train our teachers and improve their welfare.”

See, both APC and PDP are mostly peopled by highly corrupt and duplicitous folks BUT, APC still has a reasonable distribution of 'performers', if you will.

The PDP, in my opinion, is definitely the worse of the two evils as they almost railroaded this country into liquidation with their brazen and wanton kleptocracy.

I'll manage Buhari and co till 2019.


P.S. However, all non-performing APC governors should be booted out!

I beg to disagree. With the resources and revenue he commands, I feel he should be doing more.
