Member representing Yewa North/Imeko-Afon federal constituency of Ogun State, Gboyega Nasiru Isiaka, has unveiled an education intervention plan to improve on the quality of education in his constituency.

The lawmaker noted that “quality education is a fundamental right, and it’s our responsibility to ensure its enhancement in our constituency.”

Isiaka, popularly known as GNI, said the initiative is an integral component of the 15 – year development plan earlier rolled out for the Federal Constituency.

A statement by his Media Aide, Femi Peters, explained that the three-time governorship candidate, had unveiled the intervention plan after conducting an extensive consultations with key stakeholders in the State’s education sector including Professor Abayomi Arigbabu, the State Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, school principals, and administrators.

He said the education plan focuses on five key areas – deploying additional teachers to schools, enhancing infrastructure, funding and supporting students, boosting technical/vocational training, and organizing youth mentoring programs.

Isiaka noted that part of the plan is to deploy at least 40 additional English and Mathematics teachers across the constituency’s secondary schools, starting from April.

“More teachers and subjects will be added from the next academic session. Accommodation and other support will also be arranged for newly posted teachers.

“Our students deserve the greatest support to achieve their ambitions. I am fully committed to steering progress on education in Yewa North and Imeko-Afon,” he said.

The Chairman House Committee on Polytechnic and Higher Technical Education also identified the need to tackle lack of ICT infrastructure in schools.

Isiaka added that scholarships, financial aids and sponsorship support will be given to deserving students, while noting that distribution of free JAMB forms to students has already begun.

“Over and above, the implementation of these programs exemplifies our commitment to a wholesome and development-focused representation of the federal constituency.

“Our students deserve society’s greatest support to help them achieve their goals and GNI is fully committed to contributing this,” he said.
