At
today’s EXCO meeting, we received updates from our Commissioner of
Education, Science and Technology, Prof. Daud Shangodoyin on the ongoing
renovation of 100 state-owned schools. 40 have been completed, and 60
are at advanced stages of renovation and close to completion _ The distribution of exercise books and textbooks to students will commence on Monday, September 16, 2019, when schools resume. We
are also taking stock of our teachers (Mainstream, NYSC, N-Power and
PTA) and the subjects they teach to note the distribution so our
intervention will be adequately targeted. The issue of running costs of
schools is being addressed. _ We are in the process of refunding
N28 Million to parents and guardians who paid for forms and other
expenses in state-owned secondary schools under the previous
administration. The Ministry of Education, Science and Technology
website has been updated to include helplines so citizens can get in
touch about governance issues on education. _ Our Commissioner
for Environment and Natural Resources, Honourable Kehinde Ayoola, gave
us an update on the steps being taken to expand our forest reserves, and
Oyo State’s bid to access the United Nations’ Reducing Emission from
Deforestation and Degradation (REDD PLUS) Grant.
