Afam4eva: Like i said in another thread a few months back, this initiative is very expensive especially for a state like Osun that is not oil driven. It's sustenance is what worries me. There are better ways to give students access to whatever learning curve that's not so expensive. Let's take it one step at a time.

Is there actually anything in SouthWest you guys don't complain of?

Lagos opens Ikoyi-Lekki link bridge--"Fashola is only building Lagos for the rich"

Oyo commissions Mokola bridge--"The bridge is not wide enough"

Ogun opens flyover--"why must everything be in Abeokuta?"

Nigeria's biggest refinery to be built in Ondo--"Why must it be ondo and not Akwa-Ibom?"

Osun to name airport After MKO--"what is Osun going to do with airport?"

Samsung opens its biggest workshop in Ekiti--"can
Ekiti people buy samsung products"

It flows in you guys blood, "bad belleism and Jealousy"

Written by  Oluwole Ige and Moyosore Solarin. 3-6-2013 [size=13pt]OSUN State government will, today, launch customised computer tablets, “Opon-Imo,” in Ilesa.

The tablets will be distributed among students of Senior Secondary School (SSS) classes in public secondary schools in the state.

Built to improve learning among secondary school students in the state and to further prepare them for external and internal examinations, the tablets, designed in the form of a mini iPad, would be distributed to the students free-of-charge.

According to the deputy governor, who doubles as the state Commissioner for Education, Mrs Titilayo Laoye-Tomori,  the Governor Rauf Aregbesola-led government was determined to ensure that students from the state were equipped to meet up with the high standards needed to excel in the world of learning and research.

The tablets, she added, “are installed with softwares of lesson notes and textbooks on 17 subjects offered by students of secondary schools, as well as past questions and answers on the West African Senior School Certificate Examinations (WASSCE), National Examination Council (NECO) and the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).”

The launch and distribution of the computer tablets, which also contain other extra-curricular subjects, including sexuality education, entrepreneurship, civic and computer education, yoruba history and traditional religion, according to the deputy governor, “is a further attestation to the resolute pursuit of innovation in the state education sector.”[/size]

Gov. Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State on Saturday said that his administration was working to ensure that people in all parts of the state had access to potable water.

He said this at the commissioning of the Igborosun Micro Water Scheme in Badagry Local Government Area of the state.

Fashola, who was represented by the Commissioner for Finance, Mr Adetokunbo Abiru, said that the new micro water scheme was one of the projects aimed at achieving the state’s objective.

He said that his administration was passionate about the lives of the people and would continue to inaugurate projects to complement existing water schemes until all the people had access to potable water.

 ``In the last six years, the government has provided 445 types of water projects of various designs in rural and semi-urban areas, based on their population and topography.

``The government has always complemented the efforts of the state water corporation with different water scheme designs in semi-urban and rural communities where the corporation is yet to extend its services.

 ``We are passionate about the lives of the people in Lagos State and we are determined to provide portable water for all the people across the state,’’ he said.

The governor disclosed that he had approved the construction of 28 additional water projects this year, promising that they would not be abandoned.

 He charged the community to ensure adequate maintenance of the newly inaugurated water scheme.

 Earlier, the Commissioner for Rural Development, Mr Cornelius Ojelabi, said that the water project was sited in the community to improve and transform the lives of the people of Igborosun and its environs.

 He noted that with the commissioning of the water project, the health care and hygiene of the people of the area would improve.

``The micro water scheme has a production capacity of 60,000 litres of wholesome water per run and three runs per day, which will translate to 180, 000 litres per day.

 ``We urge the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) to complement the efforts of the ministry by providing the area with regular electricity in order to maximise the capacity of the water project for the benefit of the people,’’ he said.

The commissioner appealed to the people to take ownership of the project and ensure that it was well maintained and protected from vandals.

He also urged them to desist from acts that could contaminate the underground water, especially through open defecation and indiscriminate dumping of refuse among others.

In his remark, the chairman of the local government, Mr Husitode Moses Dosu, advised the people to maintain the facility properly to encourage the government to implement more projects in the area.

Fashola needs not to bring down himself to the level of these visionless and jobless governors over one crappy forum. He should focus on Lagos and SW development.

Sincere 9gerian: Where is the 4th Mainland bridge? 14yrs of ACN rule gone

Work has began. 'Niger bridge' ain't up to 1.5KM and it's been planned for over 3decades without any progress and no idea of when work is actually going to start, despite it being a federal bridge.
Lagos-Ibadan xpress way was built during awo's era, since it was handed over to the FG, has there been any expansion and renovation as proposed?
East-West road is another road that's begging for help.
Abuja-Lokoja xpress down to the south has been under construction for over four years now, thanks to the incompetent Federal government.
Funny enough, those who feel insecure when comparism between the competent governor Fashola and the visionless FG is brought up are the ones that also make comparism when there are needs by their hateful mind to castigate the gov of the people "Fashola".

Which makes it a pipe dream for an easterner to rule this country.
