The governor of Ogun State, Dapo Abiodun, has received praise from the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) for his dedication to advancing technical education in the state.
Nkede Ogoh, the NBTE’s Director of Academic Programmes, made the compliment during the board’s visit to the D.S. Adegbenro ICT Polytechnic in Itori, in the Ewekoro Local Government Area, for accreditation.
Ogoh pointed out that better service delivery, particularly in the industrial sector, will arise from high-quality technical education.
He said;
“On behalf of the Board, I like to appreciate the Ogun State Governor for paying deserved attention to technical education. Just yesterday, I signed some papers giving approval for an institution in this state to become a polytechnic. This is a good step in the right direction as technical education is indeed the future of improved productivity.”
Chairman of the Governing Council for the organisation, Ambassador Toye Okanlawon, stated, “Governor Abiodun is truly a listening governor who is committed to the provision of quality and affordable education to our teeming youths.”
He also said that “unlike previous governments in the state, this administration is actually putting up a giant stride in the educational sector”.
