In an effort to enhance learning, Osun State Firstlady, Mrs Titilayo Adeleke has flagged off the distribution of about 60,000 exercise books to secondary school pupils across the State.
The effort which is part of the ‘Renewed Hope Inititaive Agenda’ of the wife of the President, Mrs Oluremi Tinubu is a move to ensure that every child in the country has access to educational materials.
The program also aims to bring about the long held dreams of every Nigerian for a better life among families and Nigeria students.
While delivering her address, Mrs Adeleke said providing writing materials became necessary to assist the students having discovered that a lot of pupils go to school without exercise books.
She stated that the distribution of exercise books is one out of the many initiatives of Nigeria’s firstlady under the ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’ to bring succour to as many as possible vulnerable homes across the Country.
In her words, “This intervention is one of the education related intervention across the state of the federation as about sixty thousand units of exercise books were delivered to Osun for onward distribution to public primary and secondary schools across the state” she added.
She therefore appealed to parents to complement government’s effort on their children’s educational needs as government can not do it alone.
The Governor’s wife added that parents support of their children in the school will go a long way in boosting the academic performance of the students.
Also speaking, the Commissioner for Education in the state, Hon. Dipo Eluwole appreciated government’s efforts in ensuring that Osun people have access to qualitataive education.
He however assured that the exercise books will be put into good use by the students, stressing that proper monitoring will be done in ensuring that the books are properly distributed.
