OGUN GOVT COMMITTED TO REVAMPING TECHNICAL EDUCATION FOR ECONOMIC GROWTH
OGUN GOVT COMMITTED TO REVAMPING TECHNICAL EDUCATION FOR ECONOMIC GROWTH
Vocational education has been described as a critical bridge between Secondary and Tertiary Institutions, providing the foundational skills necessary for industrialisation and economic growth.
Ogun State Commissioner for Urban and Physical Planning, Tpl. Tunji Odunlami, made this assertion during an inspection of the ongoing rehabilitation of the Government Science and Technical College, Ilara-Remo in Remo North Local Government Area, emphasising the importance of vocational education in addressing skill gaps and ensuring a workforce capable of supporting industry development.
Odulami said the state government would work towards upgrading technical colleges to create a more conducive learning environment. He lamented the long-standing neglect of the state’s eight technical colleges, questioning why such vital institutions had not received adequate attention despite their critical role in the education system.
“Vocational education is extremely important. These technical colleges were built many years ago, yet they have suffered neglect. I find it surprising, considering how essential vocational training is to our education system.
“Learning in a dilapidated environment does not inspire or motivate students. That is why the government is taking this bold step to upgrade these facilities and encourage more young people to acquire practical skills,” he added.
Also speaking, the Director-General for Lands and Survey in the State, Mr. Segun Fowora, expressed satisfaction with the progress of the rehabilitation work, noting that similar upgrades were ongoing across other senatorial districts. He assured that modern teaching equipment would be installed upon completion.
In the same vein, Project Manager for the Skills Development Sector, Mr. Fatai Osunsanya, expressed optimism that the project would be completed on schedule, ensuring that students and teachers benefit from the improved infrastructure without delay.
Reacting to the development, Vice Principal (Administration), Miss Abidemi Aderemi, lauded the State Government’s efforts to revamp Technical Education, describing the intervention as a significant boost to both teaching and learning in the State’s Vocational Institutions.
TM Foundation Launches Major Food and Welfare Distribution Drive in Nigeria
In a powerful demonstration of humanitarian commitment, TM Foundation has embarked on a large-scale food distribution drive across Nigeria, alongside a crucial welfare initiative targeting young girls and students in Ogun State.
This transformative outreach took place at Igbore High School, Ilugun High School, Unity High School, and Salai Abiola Comprehensive High School from March 5th to 9th, 2025, in Abeokuta, Ogun State. The initiative brought much-needed relief to hundreds of individuals facing economic hardship, reinforcing TM Foundation’s mission of compassion and community support.
Fighting Hunger: A Lifeline for Communities
With Nigeria grappling with rising food insecurity, TM Foundation’s intervention comes at a critical time. The foundation is distributing essential food items to underprivileged families, ensuring that vulnerable communities receive vital nourishment. This initiative aims to alleviate hunger, bringing hope and sustenance to struggling households across the region.
Empowering Young Girls: Sanitary Pad Distribution
Recognizing the urgent need to address menstrual hygiene challenges, TM Foundation has also launched a large-scale sanitary pad distribution campaign. Many young girls face difficulties accessing menstrual hygiene products, which can negatively impact their health, confidence, and education. By tackling period poverty, the foundation is fostering an environment where girls can focus on their studies without unnecessary obstacles.
Education for a Brighter Future: School Bag Donations
Furthering its commitment to empowering the next generation, TM Foundation has distributed school bags across four schools in Abeokuta. These essential supplies will provide students with the necessary resources to carry their educational materials, reinforcing the foundation’s dedication to fostering academic success and a brighter future for Nigerian youth.
A Call for Support and Solidarity
As TM Foundation continues its impactful initiatives, it calls on individuals, organizations, and stakeholders to support this noble cause. The foundation’s unwavering dedication to humanitarian service is transforming lives, and this latest drive stands as a testament to its mission of spreading hope and relief.
According to the Founder and CEO, Olatunde Mukaila Lawal, “TM Foundation is committed to bringing relief and support to communities in Nigeria. Through food distribution, sanitary pad donations, and educational support, we aim to make a lasting difference.”
Stay tuned as TM Foundation continues to change lives—one meal, one school bag, and one act of kindness at a time.
