I am deeply troubled by the recent report released by TheCableIndex which revealed that Ogun State has a staggering 20.5% of out of school children. This alarming statistic is a clear indication of the failure of Governor Dapo Abiodun to prioritize education and allocate sufficient financial resources towards addressing this critical issue.

This is a direct result of the Governor’s failure to allocate necessary funding towards education, ultimately leading to a generation of children who are being left behind.

Without concrete measures in place to address this issue, we will continue to see a rise in the number of children who are unable to access education in the state.
