Edo State Governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, Tuesday, said his administration’s development strides in the primary education sector in the state will continue to be a priority.
Oshiomhole disclosed this after commissioning three blocks of eighteen classrooms at Ekiuwah Primary School, Uteh; Ivbiyeneva Primary School and Idogbo Primary School in Ikpoba Okha Local Government Area of the state.
He said the commissioned class rooms were part of the fulfilment of promises made by his administration during his electoral campaigns.
“I remember very well during my electioneering campaigns, I visited Uteh and I stopped at this school. I saw Edo Children living in Uteh , sitting on the floor of a classroom with dust all over the place.
“That is what the previous party, PDP left behind after 10 years. What PDP left behind cannot be renovated. They had to be demolished and rebuilt
“When I came into office, at the Executive Council meeting, we decided we are going to build beautiful schools, that in every school we will use aluminium roof and we will use red and that red is a symbol of the quiet revolution that is going on in Edo State – bloodless revolution,” he said.
The governor urged teachers in the schools to manage the facilities judiciously as periodic inspection would be conducted by the state government.
Oshiomhole said, “Everybody will be remembered even by the children for their legacies.
“PDP legacy is dilapidated schools. Like I said last week, a party that mismanaged our state for 10 years cannot come back in the next 100 years, never ever. The sins of PDP must be exposed everywhere.
“I am also happy that the children are already responding. In the last examination, Edo State came third throughout the country in the last WAEC examination.
“So, I believe that over the next two years before the end of our tenure, we will come first because nobody in Nigeria is better than Edo and let me assure you the Edo State Government will continue to give practical effects to our commitment to quality, free and compulsory basic education.”
