I am fully committed to overhauling the education sector and making a significant impact in education as a matter of priority.

I will triple education spending over the next four years to over 25%.  In partnership with the agriculture and food processing sector, I will embark on free daily school meals for millions of primary school children across the state.

I will revive technical and vocational education across the state by establishing Local Technical Institutes in all the Local Governments. These LTIs will promote technical and vocational education to absorb the millions of young school leavers who complete primary and secondary schools every year who cannot get admission to universities.

Local Technical Institutes

The new LTIs will provide free training to our unemployed youth in acquiring the basic skills necessary to be engaged under the new Infrastructure Plan outlined above.

I will initiate a new creative means of funding tertiary education by granting universities the financial autonomy to explore new sources of financing through grants, corporate sponsorship, tuition fees, etc. My administration will collaborate with all the tertiary education sector stakeholders, including students, parents, the academic community, relevant unions, and the government.

I will instantly end the culture of strikes and the shutdown of higher institutions in Ogun State and harmonize the school calendar across the state in a predictable manner.
