This can be said to be the driving force of Governor of the State, Senator Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke as he commissioned block of three laboratories and a borehole water in Ode-Omu Community High School, Ayedaade Local Government.
During the commissioning of the project facilitated by Osun Community and Social Development Agency (OSUN CSDA), Deputy Governor, Prince Kola Adewusi who represented the Governor on Friday in Ode-Omu, said laboratory is springboard for many science oriented students to find their professional bearings in life.
“One of the problems with science education in Nigeria is poor laboratory facilities, which I believe the project we are commissioning today will be able to solve. I strongly believe that the development of these laboratories will serve as a springboard for many sciences oriented students to find their professional bearings in life” he said.
He implored the Ode-Omu Community Project Management Committee (CPMC) to ensure there is good maintenance and sustainability plan for the project.
