The provision of infrastructure by the Prince Dapo Abiodun-led administration in the education sector, particularly in Yewa South Local Government Area of Ogun State has been described as a stride that has created a more conducive environment for teaching and learning in schools.
Residents of Ilaro and its environs, who bore their minds on the standard of education of students, applauded the present government for its commitment to the sector.
Speaking during an interview in Ilaro with the Zonal Information Officer, Yewa South, a parent, Mr. Wasiu Oniyide, who has two children in one of the public primary schools in the area, said learning activities and performances of students had improved greatly.
Mr. Oniyide stated that the ‘yellow-roof’ initiative of the Governor had put an end to pupils being taught under trees in the area, noting that, "this is a Governor that has the interest of our children's education at heart and this reflects the way he was committed to rehabilitating old structures and constructing new blocks of classrooms".
