The Governor who was represented at the event by his deputy, Prince Kola Adewusi, lauded the military authority as well as the facilitator for locating the project in the state, noted his excitement at the commissioning of the computer based examination centre basically because it touches the heart of the state educational priority.

Governor Adeleke said his government is focused on reversing the current poor standing of the state in public examinations and placing it between number one to ten on performance rating by giving “urgent attention to the learning environment, learning tools and teacher-student question.”

He added that his government is already prioritizing improvement of schools by embarking on renovation and upgrading of facilities, pointing out that “Teachers’ welfare is also high on the agenda to motivate them in the teaching -learning process.”

Speaking further, the Governor noted that “Our approach to students’ welfare is to address the general poverty crisis within the society through accelerated focus on grassroots development. This is targeted at ensuring that alleviating community poverty will provide enabling home environments for the students to improve their learning capacities.
