Ogun State Government through its Ministry of Education, Science and Technology has embarked on a massive enlightenment campaign to parks and markets, as part of moves to encourage more parents to enroll their eligible children into the public primary schools, ahead of commencement of the 2022/2023 academic session.

The Commissioner in the Ministry, Prof. Abayomi Arigbabu, while speaking during the campaign at some parks and markets in Ijebu-Ode and Sagamu, said all children in the State were entitled to qualitative and free education, hence the need for the Ministry to adopt the strategy in mobilising parents and guardians to make their wards available for registration free of charge.

Arigbabu noted that public primary schools across the State were well equipped with adequate facilities, trained teaching and non-teaching staff, a conducive environment, as well as maximum security

He says the government’s huge investment in education had earned Governor Dapo Abiodun and the State numerous honours.

  ’’We want to encourage parents to enroll their children in public primary schools. This campaign is in realisation of the free education policy of the Governor, to further reduce the rate of out-of-school children in our State", the commissioner stated .

Speaking earlier, the Director of Education, Primary Education Department, Mrs. Adesola Onayiga called on the market women to register their children for the incoming session, saying government schools are known for the best educational standards.
