Aregbesola Bags Award as Most Innovative Gov on
Education in Nigeria conferred by Forbes' youngest
activist - Zuriel Oduwole

Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State was today(Wednesday) bestowed the award of The Most
Innovative Governor Supporting Education in Nigeria.This was conferred on him in Osogbo by Zuriel Oduwole, the ten year-old Nigerian girl who has made history as the youngest person ever to be
interviewed in Forbes and was quoted as one of the
100 most influential Africans.


Speaking on what informed the confirment of the
award on Governor Aregbesola, Zuriel said, “It is
difficult for a child to learn without the right learning aid. Good learning aids have been made possible for students in this part of the world. It is in recognitionof this that on behalf of the ‘Dream Up, Speak Up, Stand Up’ Project that I present the award of the most Innovative Governor in Nigeria supporting Education to Governor Rauf Aregbesola.”


Governor Aregbesola said the occasion was more to
celebrate the achievement of Zuriel as a way of
stimulating Osun children and Nigerian children at
large to have high dreams for them to serve. And
through serving recognition would come.
Directing his address to some public school students in attendance, Governor Aregbesola noted that the intention of Zuriel was to promote the interest of the less privileged children across the world. He added that despite her young age of 11, she has made tremendous impact on African children.


“What that implies is that age is not a barrier to
making other people’s lives better,” he said.
Governor Aregbesola described the circumstance
around the award as a manifestation of the
remarkable efforts of his administration in the
development of education since he came on board.
“It was not a state in Tanzania that won award for
Tanzania but the country itself. It was not a state in
Mauritius that won award for the country but the
country itself. It was a state called Osun that has won two International Award on the development and promotion of education for Nigeria,” he explained.


“Indeed Osun won two of the four International
Awards in education for the continent. That means
that something good is happening in this part of the world and this goof thing must continue.”
The award winner explained further that the award
ceremony underscores the fact that Africa is making serious positive efforts to change the lot of the people for the better, with Nigeria being in the
vanguard of the developments.


“It is even more gratifying for us in Osun that our
state is helping to put Nigeria in that lead position”,
he stressed. “For this to happen, it was deemed necessary for us to have free education at the primary and secondary levels; to rebuild the decrepit physical infrastructure;
and to urgently tackle the problems affecting the
teaching staff, among other things.”
Zuriel was accompanied by her parents, and three
siblings. Members of her Project Team were also in
attendance.


Zuriel Oduwole is the epitome of what parents want
their children to be. At age 10 in 2013, she became
the youngest person in the world to be interviewed
by the world renowned Forbes magazine. She has
interviewed more than 13 Presidents and Prime
Ministers. She was named by New Africa last
December as one of Africa’s 100 Most influential
people of 2013, and is the head of the Dream Up,
Speak Up, Stand up project, to inspire Girls in Africa
to stay in school.



Zuriel has been featured in many newspapers,
magazines and TV programs in Africa, Europe and
the USA, including the BBC.
She arrived from Brazil and Ethiopia last week, where she is taking 2 footballs across 3 continents to 6 countries where they are being signed, to make the case for Girls Education. An award winning
documentary maker, she hopes to make a
documentary about the balls traveling, to bring

Only Lagos state seems to know what's its doing, but then Lagos has people from all corners of the earth.
If u view the Lagos list of names that wrote cowbell exams, u can't even guess the region of the country where Lagos is located.

It is simple arithmetic, subtract 36 from 23 and check d difference, your hatred for the governor has blinded you from seeing the difference.

Fayemi 1st introduced the innovation of Opon imon and his state came 35th out of 36 states, it is only when Ogbeni do things that you see fault.

Meanwhile, If you are not shameless tell me the position your state took in the ranking.
