The chairman, Egor Local Government Area of Edo State, Hon. Osaro Osa Eribo has declared the commencement of rehabilitation and renovation of primary schools within the council to boost the quality of education.
The project comprisrees refurbishing classroom blocks and staff offices, part of an integral effort by the council to revamp educational infrastructure across Ugbowo and other parts of Egor, all in alignment with Governor Monday Okpebholo’s SHINE Agenda.
Speaking to journalists in Benin City, Eribo said education remains a key pillar for meaningful development, especially at the grassroots level. He explained that under his “Egor First” Agenda, access to quality education is considered a right, not a privilege.
“Our children deserve the best learning environment possible. No child in Egor should be denied education because of poor infrastructure,” he said.
He further explained that the renovation of Ugbowo Primary School is being done with attention to both structural quality and the inclusion of modern learning facilities. “Education is the most powerful investment we can make in our children’s future. When we build schools, we build dreams; when we renovate classrooms, we restore hope,” he said.
Eribo added that his administration’s efforts complement the SHINE Agenda of Governor Okpebholo on sustainable human development and align with the Renewed Hope vision of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“What we are doing in Egor is to bring these progressive policies to life at the grassroots level, making sure that the national and state goals translate into real benefits for our people,” he added.
