The Ogun State House of Assembly says it will continue to give necessary support to facilitate development policies as well as the funding of education by the executive arm of government in the State towards consolidating on the success achieved so far in the sector. The Speaker, Rt. Hon Suraju Ishola Adekunbi said this while playing host to members of the Civil Society Action Coalition of Education for All (CSACEFA) during an advocacy visit to the Assembly, Oke-mosan, Abeokuta, led by its State Coordinator, Mrs. Taiwo Adebanjo. Adekunbi, who noted that the State Government had consistently devoted the largest chunk of its annual budget to Education owing to the priority it accorded the sector, assured that more would be done to achieve qualitative and affordable education policy of the present administration in the State. While lauding the executive arm for executing various development projects including the construction of model schools across the State, the Speaker explained that the speedy consideration of legislations on education by the 8th Legislature was an evidence of its synergy with the executive arm on developmental issues towards the successful implementation of the rebuilding mission of the Senator Ibikunle Amosun-led government. The Speaker, who promised that the issue of un-accessed Universal Basic Education (UBE) funds would be addressed in due course, commended the group for their commitment to educational development across the three Senatorial Districts, with an assurance that the present administration was irrevocably committed to the development of all sectors of the State’s economy. Earlier in her presentation, Mrs. Adebanjo applauded the passion of government towards the development of education in the State, describing the level of investment in the sector as commendable.
