Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board has commissioned two model schools in the state.
While disclosing this on Monday 27 April, 2020, the board’s Executive Chairman, Dr Nureni Adeniran, stated that the government’s commitment to development and building of school facilities contributed to the enrollment of children in public basic and primary schools.
Adeniran disclosed this after visiting two newly completed model schools under the state’s 2014 Federal Government Universal Basic Education Commission/OYO SUBEB Intervention projects.
He stated that in spite of the stay-at-home order, Oyo State government ensured that work did not stop on the model schools.
He said that the buildings would ease access to quality education in the state at the end of the coronavirus.
Adeniran added that the board members were carrying out periodic inspections on schools in the State, in spite of its challenge.
“The visit was to ensure that the work was progressing this period and that quality jobs were done at the schools,” he said.
“I was satisfied with the two schools visited in Oyo town and Ibadan. The buildings will be ready for use as soon as pupils resume,” he added.
He however commended Gov. Seyi Makinde for putting things in place to safeguard the future of pupils in the State’s public primary schools.
The chairman therefore appealed to parents and pupils to leverage the ongoing online classes which would avail them the opportunity to learn within the comfort of their homes.
