Prof Fransisca Aladejana, the newly appointed Chairman of the Ekiti State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), has charged the staff of the Board to key into the on-going reforms in the education sector as initiated by Dr. Kayode Fayemi-led administration.
Professor Aladejana, who gave the charge during the inaugural meeting she had with the management and staff of the Board in Ado Ekiti, said the reform is aimed at repositioning the education Sector in the state.
She assured that the current leadership in the state would put in place credible modalities that would enhance qualitative basic education and restore the glory of education in public schools across the state.
Aladejana said that the board would collaborate with all major stakeholders in the basic education sector to ensure that all children of school age in the state have unrestricted access to free and qualitative education through proper implementation of the SUBEB laws.
The SUBEB boss, who promised to run an open administration, however charged members of staff to be more diligent and shun vices such as truancy, rumor mongering and every other untoward attitudes that are counterproductive.
She also solicited the cooperation of the entire staff and management of SUBEB for herself and the newly appointed Commissioner 1 of the Board, Mrs Funke Fajobi to move the board and the basic education sector to an enviable standard.
In her response, the Permanent Secretary in the Board, Dr. (Mrs.) Eunice Oladimeji, who welcomed the new Boss to the establishment, promised that the staff would rededicate themselves to accomplish the tasks ahead.
Mrs. Oladimeji commended the current leadership in the state for its support and decisive steps toward reforming the basic education sector in the state, affirming that the recent restructuring exercise carried out in the Board was already yielding positive results.
