Hon. Olayinka Segelu, a Germany-based Ibadan-born politician and Chairman of YSEG Hotels and Suites, has commended the Governor of Oyo State, Engineer Seyi Makinde, for making education a top priority in his administration.
In a statement, Hon. Segelu praised Governor Makinde’s decision to approve the recruitment of 7,500 teaching and 3,000 non-teaching staff into the State Teaching Service, as part of his efforts to advance the education sector in Oyo State.
“Evidently, His Excellency, Engineer Seyi Makinde, has shown great commitment to the growth of education in Oyo State since he came on board as the governor,” Hon. Segelu said. “He has been working hard and doing everything possible to see to the improvement of education standard in our dear state.”
The politician noted that the governor’s approval for the recruitment of 10,500 staff into the State Teaching Service is a testament to his desire and determination to upscale the quality of education in Oyo State.
“As it is rightly said, education is the bedrock for development. It is indeed the key to socio-economic progress. It is education that empowers the people to recognise their full potentials,” Hon. Segelu said. “Therefore, Governor Makinde must be roundly applauded for his zeal and determined efforts towards building a solid structure for the education system in the state. We must support and encourage him to continue to do more in the area of education for the good of our state.”
