I will key into Makinde’s free education agenda ― Saki-East caretaker chairperson

The caretaker chairperson, Saki- East Local Government Mrs Rahman Adeniran has assured the people of the local government area that her administration will do everything to key into the free education policy of the state governor, Engineer Seyi Makinde.

Mrs Adeniran made this statement while addressing stakeholders at the flag-off ceremony of free computer-based test (CBT) training organised for senior secondary school three students in the local government.

The training was jointly organised by the Adeniran and caretaker chairman, Ifeloju Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Mr Johnson Sunday, at the information communication technology centre, Ago – Amodu recently.

Mrs Adeniran reiterated that the training was organised to enable the students that registered for the joint admission and matriculation board (JAMB) examinations get themselves acquainted to the rudiments of the computer-based test (CBT) ahead of their examinations, as some of the students in rural areas are not well exposed to the computer system.

She stressed further that “that many of them are brilliant, while some are genius but when opportunities to display their inbuilt knowledge are not available, it amounts to wastage.”
