Osun State APC has accused Governor Ademola Adeleke of making false claims that his administration has recruited 5,000 teachers submitting that the current administration in the state has not recruited a single teacher since it came into being in 2022.
The party in a statement issued in Osogbo and made available to Team@orientactualmags.com by its spokesman , Chief Kola Olabisi noted that only a dishonest leader would claim that he has engaged a fresh 5,000 teachers when there has never been anything in that respect since 2022.
‘Could the touted false recruitment of the teachers have been effected in the dream of the governor according to a statement affirming the falsehood contained in a video recording that has gone viral?
Would it not be absolutely right for discerning minds to conclude that for the governor to have uttered the statement that his administration has recruited 5,000 teachers points to the fact that he is a stranger to his government in line with the belief that he is running his administration by proxy.
The innocent residents of Osun State are aware of the true state of the running of the government of Senator Adeleke that his claim of recruitment of 5,000 teachers is not only false, but also spurious, vacuous and fraudulent.
Perhaps, what Governor Adeleke wanted to say in the video message was that he sacked the 1,500 teachers recruited by his immediate predecessor, former Governor Gboyega Oyetola now Minister of Marine and Blue Economy for no just cause other than political victimization and vindictiveness’ the statement said.
The party also said tertiary education is becoming unaffordable in the state under Governor Adeleke administration.
‘ Governor Adeleke is not adding any value to his government by telling bare-faced lies on the teachers’ recruitment that has never taken place under his administration but rather, it is compounding the poor image of his administration in the estimation of the right-thinking members of society.
Whoever has been critically following the Governor Adeleke administration would not find it difficult to find out that education is far from its priority as what is left of some of the primary and secondary public schools in the state are mere building structures without commensurate manpower.
The plight of public tertiary institutions in the state is more than pathetic as the common people in the state have found fees being charged by them unaffordable when they are supposed to be the beneficiaries of any government in power.
In the state-owned universities in Ilesa and Osogbo, for instance, students are now paying as much as N1.4 million and N1.5 million per session. How many honest civil servants can afford such an exploitative and cut-throat fees?
Education is being poorly funded by the Adeleke administration. The saving grace is the Federal Government which is helping out through UBEC (for Basic education) and the TETFUND ( tertiary education).
Virtually all the new infrastructure projects at all the primary, secondary and higher institutions in Osun State, including benches, chairs, lecture theatres, classrooms, toilets, tarred roads, were provided by the Federal Government through the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) and the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND)’ the statement added. The party also asked the state government to provide details of its independent spending in education since November 2022, outside what the Buhari and the Tinubu administrations had done to rescue education sector in the state-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
