The Deputy Governor, State of Osun, Mr Benedict Alabi, said the recent efforts of the government in the state to strengthen the quality of education has started yielding laudable results.
The Deputy Governor made the remarks in his office at Abeere, while playing host to Miss Christiana Akinlaja, an SS3 student of Fakunle Unity Government High School, Osogbo, alongside her mother and sibling.
Mr Alabi opined that the resolve of the Adegboyega Oyetola’s administration to produce more responsible and productive youths through sound education is unwavering.
The young girl, an indigene of the state, recently won a National Essay Competition on COVID-19, organised by Solomon Empire, a non-governmental organisation, with the theme;How should government and corporate organisations prepare people towards post COVID-19 and future pandemics.
Alabi praised the student for being clear-headed and focus, as he commended her mother for raising such talented offspring.
He, however, advised the student to sustain that tempo of scholarship and versatility, adding that such intellectual feat requires more responsibilities and sacrifices.
