Category: Education
The attention of the Osun State Government has been drawn to the Press Release issued by the National Executive Council of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) at the end of its emergency meeting held in Abuja on Saturday, 5 September 2026, particularly the portions relating to the implementation of the 2025 Federal Government of Nigeria–ASUU Agreement and the governance of Osun State University (UNIOSUN).
Governor Ademola Adeleke has dissolved the governing Council of the Osun State University in a bid to strengthen the institution’s governance structures.
OSUN STATE TEACHERS RECRUITMENT EXERCISE 2026,RELEASE OF SUPPLEMENTARY LIST TO THE FIRST BATCH.
Our administration inherited an education sector in deep state of neglect with very low national examinations rating. To revive the sector, our government targeted fundamental reforms. We spotlighted two key areas namely teachers’ welfare and school infrastructure upgrade. We rehabilitated 120 schools across the state. Similar numbers are also currently under upgrade to enhance the learning environment for pupils. At Osun State University, the completion of a 52-unit complex has increased lecture and administrative space, strengthening the university’s capacity to serve a growing student body. Five other abandoned projects were completed by our administration.
At the University of Ilesa, we made it a reality by releasing take off grant and getting over 100 courses accredited for the university. We are currently constructing the campus infrastructure. The construction of the first-ever student hostel has eased accommodation challenges, while the regularization of temporary staff into permanent roles has boosted morale and stability within the institution.
Our administration also invested heavily in teachers’ development such as training programs on modern teaching techniques. Teachers’ welfare is at the zenith as attested to the Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT). Regular payment of entitlements and others benefits of teachers raises their morale. Our reforms and policies have ensured Osun movement from number 33 to number 7 on the national examination rating.
Our government also introduced the Government–Alumni Partnership Board. We intend to rigorously implement the initiative to strengthen public private partnership in our school development.
Aside school upgrade and teacher welfare, our government has restored bursaries for tertiary students after years of neglect by previous administration. The state government under my watch restored the payment of bursaries to indigenes enrolled in the Nigerian Law School.
The results are unmistakable. Under our leadership, Osun surged from 33rd place to 7th nationally in WAEC and NECO rankings. Beyond examinations, Osun students have taken their talents to the world stage, representing Nigeria at the World Debate Day in Malaysia.
To strengthen the education sector, our government is navigating the externally imposed financial constraints. In due course, we will release appointment letters for new teachers to address personnel shortages in our schools.
