Abayomi Arigbabu, a Professor and Ogun State Commissioner for Education, Science, and Technology, has said that the ongoing rehabilitation of technical colleges across the state is meant to attract more students to technical education.
He stated that the move would also enable them to compete favorably with their counterparts across the Country and contribute significantly to closing the skills gap nationwide.
Arigbabu made this statement during the inspection of the ongoing rehabilitation of Government Technical Colleges at Idiaba and Isabo, Abeokuta, respectively.
Expressing satisfaction with the level and quality of work done so far, the Commissioner noted that the rehabilitation of the structures would, in no small measure, contribute to the learning skills of students.
He added that the upgraded facilities would enhance practical learning, foster creativity, and provide a conducive environment for academic excellence.
Arigbabu stated that the revamped technical colleges, apart from helping to attract more students to technical education, would also increase their employability and prepare them for entrepreneurial opportunities in various industries.
In an interview with some of the female students at the college, the Commissioner urged beneficiaries of the Ogun Girls TVET scholarship to make the best use of the opportunity.
