The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun State has said in spite of the claims by the administration of Governor Gboyega Oyetola on education investments, the state still remains in poor ranking in the West African Examination Council.
According to WAEC’s statistics released yesterday, Osun is ranked 36th among all other 36 states, including FCT.
The PDP Caretaker Committee Chairman, Dr. Adekunle Akindele in a statement released in Osogbo on Wednesday, asked Governor Gboyega Oyetola-led government to apologise to the people of Osun State for the alleged destructive handling of the education system which culminated into what he called the “very shameful placement.”
The PDP lamented the distasteful result as a function of the laissez-faire attitude of APC-led administration to education in the state, leaving the all-important sector in the hands of do-nothing propagandists, while the proverbial future leaders are having their future inadvertently fogged up.
The statement read, “For long, the state government had rebuffed all wise counsels to employ competent professionals to fill existing vacancies in key subjects in almost all Public Secondary Schools in the state, in a bid to avert the present disaster.
“What more, Oyetola is happy expending parts of the funds expected to be used to revamp the badly bleeding education sector in the state on illegal local government elections that will surely fall flat. These are streams of misplaced priorities for which innocent students are being made to suffer heartaches and bleak futures through faulty education.
“Our great party, PDP under the incoming administration of Governor-elect, Senator Ademola Adeleke, assures parents, whose wards have been subjected to psychological trauma with the unsavory performance in WAEC and other basic examinations of better days ahead.
“Senator Ademola Adeleke’s administration, as promised during electioneering, will set education as topmost priority by restoring sanity to the sector, away from personal aggrandizement.”
