The Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun has encouraged students in the State to imbibe all the skills, lessons and experience they have opportunity of learning for them to be good ambassadors of the state.
Governor Amosun gave the encouragement while receiving the 161 participants of the 2017 Ogun Summer Camp who came on a visit after an endurance walk from Akin-Olugbade to the Government House at Oke-Igbehin, Abeokuta this Saturday.
The Governor noted that the motive behind the legacy his administration is laying in the educational sector is for the Children to develop in all ramifications and ensure a better future for the country.
While commending them for their participation in the endurance walk and the good attitude they have exhibited during the camping, Governor Amosun urged them to listen attentively, participate in all the training exercises and learn from one another at the camp.
The Governor noted that one of the purpose of organising such camping is to instill virtues of discipline, team work and good relationship into the children noting that it will also help to promote peace, harmony and unity in the country.
Speaking with journalists, the Commissioner For Education, Science and Technology, Mrs Modupe Mujota and her counterpart from the Ministry of Information and Strategy, Chief Adedayo Adeneye said beyond academic "We teach them life skills with fun" adding what a child learns in the place of fun sticks forever.
The duo noted that increase in the students participation in the second edition has endorsed the summer camp initiatives while encouraging other students to plan for the next edition.
