Dapo Abiodun Renames TASCE After Awujale
On Saturday, Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun announced that the Tai Solarin College of Education, Omu-Ijebu, will be renamed Sikiru Adetona College of Science, Education, and Technology.
According to Abiodun, he opted to rename the institution after the Awujale of Ijebuland, whose efforts improved science and technology education instruction and research in the state.
The governor, who spoke at the APC’s campaign for the next council election in Odogbolu town, Odogbolu Local Government Area, said education had played a significant part in the state’s progress.
He said, “I am happy that today, no one is shooting. You can all see that the political temperature of Ogun State is so low, there is rest of mind. No problem; we are all going about our work. All those involved in cultism should repent because if we catch them, they will face the full wrath of the law.
“I am setting up a special task force on cultism because we are working towards making this state the number one state in this country, and any attempt to undermine that by way of cultism is an act of sabotage and we will put an end to it.”
“This is an agrarian local government, I am committed to advancing the cause of agriculture in this local government. I am investing in agriculture because, not only do you have the land, you have land in abundance and also close to Lagos,” he added.
In the last two years, the governor’s administration has built approximately 270 kilometers of roads, about 1,000 housing units, 700 schools, and about 100 primary healthcare centers across the state, among other things.
Abiodun revealed that 56 projects had been completed in Odogbolu, noting that the Ala-Omu and Idowa-Ibefun roads had just been approved for building.
He went on to say that his administration will keep striving to ensure that everyone in the state prospered.
While handing the party flags to the APC chairmanship and vice chairmanship candidates, Shuaib Ladejobi and Iretiolu Adenugba, respectively, the governor urged party supporters and residents of Odogbolu LGA to vote for the party in the July 24 local government elections.
