Ogun Govt. Calls For Collective Developmental Investment In Schools

Seeking a better academic atmosphere, the Ogun State Government has required support from well-meaning individuals in the society to invest more in developmental projects in schools across the State, to further enhance teaching and learning.

The appeal came to the fore by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, Mrs. Abosede Ogunleye, during the Commissioning of a block of four toilet facilities donated for staff and learners of Ogunmakin High School in Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of the State by the retired and immediate past Principal of the school, Mrs. Toyin Oduntan.

Mrs. Ogunleye noted that the enormous responsibilities of education could not be carried by the government alone, hence the need for private individuals, corporate bodies, organisations to support the current administration in the State with different projects.
