The National president of the National Association of Okun Students(NAOS), Comrade Ajagun Opeyemi Samuel has insisted on demanding for good and quality education for okun students.
Ajagun who has been advocating for a good educational program in Okunland has stated that it seems the government and Okun Leaders are turning deaf ears to our plea to improve on the bad condition of education in Okunland.
"The welfare of our students in Okun Land is our first priority. We have reach out through different ways such as can be seen in our articles, recent consultations and productive agitations urge the government and our leader, the importance and values of quality education. But it seems all our agitations have fallen on deaf ears or rather the concerned felt we are just like toothless dogs.
However, we will not rest until the right thing is done.
We will not rest until the State Government sees quality education as a right of every child and not a privilege.
We will not rest until education is made affordable to the common man.
No, we will continue to talk until our schools are in good conditions.
"Many times, we begin to wonder are these not the schools where our present leaders passed through?
Same schools they didn't pay a dime throughout their educational sojourn! Same schools they eat free lunch during the break!
Same schools, where they learnt using adequate apparatus which made learning process easy!
Current records has shown that Education has been under funded right from the inception of this administration.
A lot of our schools both Primary and Secondary are short of teachers. Pupils and Students had to skip some subjects because the teachers are not available.
It is even sad to note that those on the job are not paid regularly for their services"
Ajagun complain about the dilapidated condition of schools in Okunland, he emphasized on the needs for the government to provide adequate facility/teachers that can bring about quality education for the students.
"We won't continue to serve a government that does not understand the value of education, if the State government chose not to work on these rot in our educational system.
Our Primary and Secondary schools must be well equipped with furniture and laboratory equipments for conducive learning.
Education must be made absolute free, it must henceforth be seen as a right and not a privilege"
He extol Elder Leke Abejide, an ADC Candidate for Yagba federal constituency who paid WAEC fees of 2,000 students in the constituency, he noted that his administration will continue to encourage/commend anybody or organization who make inputs in educational system of Okun land.
Ajagun Calls on the state government and Okun Leaders and elders to put together and revive the already crumbled educational system of the state.
"We hereby want to call on the State Government to do the right thing or else face students unrest in every part of the State"
