Edo State Will Soon Regain Its Spot As Nigeria’s Best Education Hub – Obaseki

Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki has come out to assure residents of the state that Edo would regain its position as the education hub in Nigeria.

Obaseki recently revealed this after inspecting the current construction work of the College of Education in Abudu, which he said would concentrate on the training of teachers for pre-primary and primary schools.

According to him, Igueben will mainly focus on training teachers who will teach technical subjects, and the one in Afuze will be all about special education.

He added that teachers will also be trained in technology because that is definitely the way forward for the world.

His words, “We are expecting that Abudu will be open to students before July this year. It’s almost ready for occupation, we are just finalizing the faculty, the accreditation team has been here and am quite impressed with the quality and pace of work.”

“It has been an unusual year. In the last one year, not much has happened. The contractors have to leave site to protect their workers; the supply chain has been disrupted, but in spite of the delay, you will agree with me that a lot has been achieved.”

“That work has progressed at a pace slightly ahead of what we expected because of coronavirus. Some of the other campuses have students, Igueben has students, we are scaling up the number of students by expanding the number of facilities.”

“The right facilities will be put in this place so that we can train teachers practically in the use of technology, using technology to train these students and imbibing in them the culture of technology from tender age.”
