6,000 Teachers Employed: Governor Okpebholo Restores Hope To Edo Classrooms

Image
Script By Festus Alenkhe. Education is the foundation upon which every thriving society is built. And at the heart of that foundation are teachers. In a landmark decision, the Edo State Governor, * Senator Monday Okpebholo *, has approved the employment of * 6,000 teachers * into the state’s public school system. This is not just a recruitment exercise. It is a rescue mission for basic education in Edo State. For too long, many of our schools, especially in the rural areas, operated with skeletal staff. Some schools had more pupils than teachers. Others depended on PTA teachers and volunteers just to keep classes running. The result was predictable: poor learning outcomes, teacher burnout, and declining confidence in public schools. That narrative is changing. Reports from across the state confirm that * most schools in rural areas now have teachers working in their schools *. For communities that had almost given up on government presence in education, this is a new da...

You Are A Disappointment, Umahi Tells Benin-Asaba Expressway Concessionaire

Image
...You should have been arrested for destruction of public assets From Chris Akhabue, Edo There was a mild drama yesterday in Benin City, Edo State, when the Minister of Works, Engr. David Umahi, alongside the Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, inspected the ongoing rehabilitation and expansion of the Benin-Asaba Expressway. The Minister expressed strong displeasure over the deplorable condition of portions of the strategic highway, particularly the manner in which the existing asphalt had been removed without adequate measures to protect the underlying road structure. Umahi, who was visibly angered by the state of the road, openly confronted the concessionaire handling the project, accusing the company of incompetence and poor execution. He also commended Governor Okpebholo for intervening to calm residents and commuters whose frustration, he said, could have resulted in civil unrest. “Governor, we want to thank you.
