Osun dismisses APC’s claims of inadequate infrastructure, teachers in public schools

The Osun State Government has strongly refuted allegations made by the All Progressives Congress (APC) regarding the state of public schools. The Chairman of the Osun State Teaching Service Commission, Mr. Temitope Mustapha, stated that the current administration prioritizes education and is actively working to improve facilities and staffing. He pointed to the excellent performance of students in rural areas, which has significantly boosted the state's national ranking in examinations, as evidence of the government's success. Mustapha dismissed claims of school closures and teacher shortages as false propaganda from "enemies of progress." He emphasized that newly recruited teachers have been deployed to rural areas to bolster existing staff. The government assures that Governor Ademola Adeleke's development program ensures no school will be neglected, regardless of its location. This response directly counters the opposition's narrative, which alleged misuse of state resources and a collapse of the public education system. The government's stance is that it is actively investing in and improving the educational landscape of Osun State, contrary to the opposition's claims.

No school is going into extinction in Osun State. In fact, our students in rural areas performed excellently in their NECO and WASSCE examinations, a feat that helped the state move from 30th to 7th position nationally.
