The governor, who was represented by his deputy, Mr. Olayide Adelami, said his administration would continue prioritising education.
“I am glad to say that the state government’s huge investment in the education sector is yielding positive results, as our students are doing well on all fronts.
“It is a known fact that Ondo State is now a force to reckon with in the education sector, both nationally and internationally.
“We have recently approved the recruitment of 2,000 teachers into both our primary and secondary schools.
“Recently, the state government approved N550 million in registration of students in the state-owned secondary schools for the 2024 WAEC examination,” he said.
He praised Miss Jane Pelly’s commitment, who served as the pioneer principal of Fiwasaye Girls’ Grammar School between 1960 and 1973. He called on good-spirited Nigerians to partner with the state to achieve its educational goals.
In her opening remarks, the principal of Fiwasaye Girls’ Grammar School, Akure, Mrs Temitope Ojoge, commended the state government and the donor for their contributions to the development of education in the state.
