Olabimtan: ‘Aketi Noticed What Majority Overlooked in Aiyedatiwa’
The Chairman of the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) in Ondo State, Rt. Hon. Victor Olabimtan, has praised Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa for his substantial investment in education.
In a statement he personally signed, Olabimtan noted that Ondo State is making significant progress due to Governor Aiyedatiwa’s policy direction, which prioritizes the welfare of the citizens.
To enhance the quality of education and the learning experience in the state, Governor Aiyedatiwa has approved the payment of Ondo State’s counterpart fund for the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) for the year 2024.
According to the SUBEB chairman, this crucial step is essential for initiating the implementation of UBEC projects in Ondo State for 2024.
Olabimtan’s statement reads in part. “Within Aiyedatiwa’s short stint, Ondo State has paid counterpart funding for both 2023 and 2024 to UBEC. As a result of the prompt payment of 2023 counterpart fund by Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa Ondo State SUBEB has been able to construct 18 new blocks of classrooms, renovated 22 blocks of classrooms, re-roofed 20 buildings affected by rainstorms, constructed 10 motorised boreholes with modern toilets, and supplied furniture for 3,360 Pupils.
“This also includes provision of furniture for 585 teachers and 72 Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCDE) furniture within a spate of few months.”
“The icing on the cake is the approval given for the recruitment of 1,000 teachers to boost impactful education at the primary school level.”
“The 2024 proposal for which Governor Aiyedatiwa has also paid the counterpart fund will see SUBEB constructing 35 blocks of new classrooms, renovating 55 blocks of classrooms in various locations, re-roofing 15 buildings affected by rainstorms, constructing 18 boreholes, constructing 7 modern toilets, and supplying 6,500 Pupils’ furniture, 1,000 teachers’ furniture and 150 Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCDE) furniture for UBEC year 2024.”
“Aketi must have seen what majority of people couldn’t see in the incumbent when he anointed him as his successor during his inauguration for second term in office. It’s amazing and impressively surprising that Governor Aiyedatiwa is selectively focusing on the core policies and projects that will guarantee enduring legacy.”
“Ondo State is one of the best performing States in terms of prompt payment of counterpart funding to execute UBEC sponsored projects. Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa has been consistent in his quest to ensure that Ondo State pupils have access to effective and qualitative education. Ondo State is, indeed, lucky!”
