Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State has assured people of the state that no school would be left with any dilapidated classroom by the end of his second term in office.

Aregbesola spoke at the weekend while commissioning three elementary schools in Ikirun, Iragbiji and Ila-Orangun amidst fun fare, stressing that with the spate at which his administration has been constructing new schools, the era of unfit learning environment would be history completely.

Students in school uniforms, guardians and parents trooped out to witness the unprecedented commissioning of the new schools with state-of-the-art facilities.

The schools are Holy Trinity Middle School, Ikirun, NUD Middle School, Iragbiji and St Julius Middle School, Ila-Orangun, which are all in Osun Central Senatorial District.

The middle schools, which are built in this same structural pattern, have capacity to accommodate 1,000 pupils with 25 classrooms, one large examination hall, 16 toilets, one audio visual room, information and computer technology (ICT) room, recreation facilities among others.

The governor emphasised that his administration has raised the stake by putting education on high pedestal with commissioning of the schools.

He disclosed that the state government is targeting provision of conducive classrooms for over 100, 000 pupils before end of the year, adding that by the time all the new school buildings are completed, no pupil or student would learn in dilapidated and haphazard classrooms again in the state.

“We are committed to developing both human and material resources in our state. This explains why we have specially focused on the education sector. Where we are taking the state is far in terms of development and we’ve just begun.”
