But these designs are archaic with bushy environment more modern designs like public schools in Osun..one tin i respect Ogbeni Rauf for.. public schools should not look like modern polutry farms

None where in Nigeria will you find such modern structures constructed by Aregbesola in Nigeria. He did 100% on education. Am from Lagos and I schooled in Osun State......those structures are so fantastic!

this is where money is easily stolen. Government steal through project execution. Aregbesola did the same thing. asks what it cost the government to construct the building and you will hear shocking amounts.

The color is too shouty. Though, it's good but I don't expect this from a state governor. I expect this from an LGA chairman if we're telling ourselves the truth.

Your point is valid ... especially with the former arrangement;. Where all monies reach the governor who may not remit same to LGs. But with the new development in that area, we can begin to look forward to that.

About 700 public primary schools in Ondo State have been renovated.

This is coming two years after Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu assumed office.

He had vowed to promote quality and sustainable education that will ensure technological growth never experienced in the state.

“Unless we take the issue of education seriously, our quest for development will not only be unrealisable, but regrettably, laughable,” he said, lamenting the state he met the education sector.

“This is a deplorable process, which regrettably, culminates in the award of varying shades of certificates to individuals, who lack capacity to apply knowledge to solve problems,” he added.

Since the beginning of the Akeredolu-led administration, the Ondo State government has paid N3.7 billion as counterpart funding for basic education, which was matched by the Federal Government through the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) to revamp the primary education sector.

The government also constructed toilet facilities in about 300 of the primary schools that have been renovated.

Among the benefitting schools are St Jude’s Primary School, Obinehin; Don Bosco School, Ondo and St Andrew’s Primary School, Elegbeka.

Many educators and parents, while seeking more attention on public schools, have praised the Akeredolu-led administration for its efforts so far.

They said the schools would have been much better if previous administrations had paid similar attention to education in the state.

A retired head teacher in IIe-Oluji, who spoke in confidence said: “You will agree with me that most of our schools would have been in a lot better shape if other administrations had paid better or similar attention to education in Ondo State.

“However, I would love to see the government extend its programme to other schools needing attention in the state. This move is beginning to yield results and life is gradually returning to the state-owned primary schools.”

Ondo State Universal Basic Education (SUBEB)Chairman, Princess Oladunni Odu told The Nation that new building are still being constructed along with supply of furniture, provision of boreholes and other facilities.

According to Mrs Odu, another 314 projects would be awarded very soon in various primary schools, including agricultural materials, sporting equipment and 77 containerised toilets.

“We want to make education attractive through functional system with training and re-training of teachers. Parents are now satisfied with public schools, there are more qualified teachers, adequate security and conducive environment,” she said.

In order to boost teachers’ morale, the state government recently rolled out promotion letters to 1,800 primary school teachers in the state. They were promoted after a rigorous screening exercise carried out by SUBEB.

The promoted teachers were said to have scored high marks in characters and performed well in the examination and interview conducted for them.

This is in addition to the recruitment of more primary schools teachers, which the SUBEB Chairman said is happening for the first time since 2006.

The Nigeria Union of Teachers, (NUT) Chairman, Ondo State chapter, Mr. Victor Amoko, lauded the state government for the kind gesture.

The promotion, Amoko said, would motivate the teachers. He urged them to reciprocate the kind gesture by putting in their best in impacting knowledge on the pupils.

Also speaking on the progress in the education sector, Chief Imam of Akure, Alhaji Akorede, lauded Governor Akeredolu for resuscitating Akure Muslim School. “For a long time, the Muslims community in Akure watched as the school went in ruins, as many parents took their children to other schools.

Well done Gov. Akeredolu...well done!! Proud of this State, The Sunshine State! My State!

But the signboards indicate the renovation contracts were awarded in 2015 and 2016, before Akeredolu assumed office in 2017...

Anyway, good move nonetheless (at least he did not revoke the contracts), but it seems the contracts did not involve any landscaping, and most importantly hopefully the state government is going to pay as much (even MORE) attention to the quality (and training) of TEACHERS!

What it means is that the projects ought to have been executed in 2015 and 2016 but the previous administration failed to do that.
