The Ogun State Universal Basic Education Board has commended Governor Dapo Abiodun for what it described as his sustained commitment to funding basic education in the state.
The board said the governor’s administration had facilitated the payment of counterpart funding obligations covering a cumulative period of 13 years within seven years.
In a statement signed by its Executive Chairman, Evangelist Joshua Olalekan Ifede, on Monday, the board said the latest payment of more than N12bn, covering the 2022–2026 period, represented five years of intervention funding for basic education.
According to the statement, the state had also addressed counterpart funding obligations for 2014–2017, 2018–2019 and 2020–2021 under Abiodun’s administration.
