Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has announced that his administration has embarked on the reconstruction, renovation, and remodeling of over 100 schools across the three Senatorial Districts of the State. In a statement, the Chief Press Secretary to Edo State Governor, Fred Itua, said another set of 120 schools are already earmarked for reconstruction, renovation, and remodeling across the State. Okpebholo noted that the massive infrastructural development in the education sector marks his government’s commitment to ensuring that Edo children get the best facilities in terms of learning. He attributed the progress in the education sector to his administration’s keying into the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. “This is a demonstration of the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. You can see massive work is ongoing across schools in Edo State,” Okpebholo said. Commissioner for Education, Paddy Emmanuel Iyamu, described the infrastructural development of the State by Okpebholo as “very interesting.” Iyamu said working with a Governor who says what he means and means whatever he says is a plus for Edo people, as the Governor’s words are backed by actions. Itua noted that projects are ongoing across the three Senatorial Districts of Edo State, with the pupils, students, parents, and host communities expressing happiness with the development. On the plans to employ 100 teachers for technical schools across the State, Iyamu said the Governor asked for a needs assessment exercise which was carried out and the report submitted to him, hence the need for the recruitment. Itua stated that the Governor has approved the employment of 100 teachers for the three technical schools in the State, based on the needs assessment to meet the desired goals. Chairman of State Universal Education Board (SUBEB), Barr. (Mrs.) Onomen Briggs, said the Okpebholo administration has achieved a lot within just 100 days in office. Fred Itua stated that Briggs joined the Governor and other officials to monitor the construction of schools across Edo State and expressed satisfaction with the infrastructural development in the sector. “Considering the fact that we are just 100 days in office, Governor Monday Okpebholo has done a lot as many schools across the three Senatorial Districts of the State are undergoing massive construction,” Briggs said.
