The Ogun State Commissioner for Education, Science, and Technology, Prof. Abayomi Arigbabu, 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.
Prof. 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.
Prof. Arigbabu disclosed 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.
His counterpart at the Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Investment, Hon. Adebola Sofela, commended the Ogun State Government for its foresight in prioritizing technical education.
He emphasized that the initiative aligns with the government’s vision of producing a skilled workforce capable of meeting the demands of both local and international markets.
Mr. Sofela further noted that the intervention would strengthen the link between education and industry, ensuring students are equipped with relevant skills for today’s dynamic economy.
The ongoing rehabilitation is part of OGSTEP’s commitment to improving the economic livelihoods of the people through strategic interventions in education and skills development.

Popular Nigerian gospel singer Asu Ekiye has finally opened up on how his estranged wife, Kunemofa Asu, initiated the divorce proceedings that led to the dissolution of their 28-year marriage.
Ekiye, popularly known as the “Prince of the Niger Delta”, made the clarification in a statement shared on social media.
The clarification followed reactions to his earlier announcement on Thursday that his marriage to Kunemofa, which began in 1998, had ended.
The announcement sparked widespread reactions from fans of the award-winning singer, especially netizens, with many expressing shock at why a marriage of that length could have been salvaged.
However, following public curiosity, the singer, in a new post, clarified that his wife initiated the split and filed for divorce without a prior quarrel, and that reconciliation efforts failed.
Ekiye said his wife had expressed her desire to end the marriage, moved out of their home, and subsequently instituted divorce proceedings.
“The decision regarding the dissolution of my marriage was not one I initiated.
“Having done all I could to seek reconciliation, I eventually came to the difficult decision to accept the reality of the situation,” he said.
The singer said he spent about a year making efforts to reconcile with his wife and preserve the marriage, but she remained firm in her decision.
Ekiye said he decided to clarify the circumstances surrounding the divorce after receiving numerous calls and messages following his announcement about the end of the marriage.
He said he bore no bitterness or ill will towards his former wife and had chosen to approach the new phase of his life with dignity and respect for all concerned.
“I bear no bitterness or ill will toward anyone,” he said.
The Nigerian Navy (NN) has handed over nine suspected stowaways to the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) after rescuing them from a merchant vessel in Lagos.
The Nigerian Navy Ship (NNS) Beecroft effected the handover on Friday following the discovery of the suspects concealed in the propeller compartment of MT *Evgenia* two days earlier.
According to a statement by the Commander of NNS Beecroft, Commodore Aiwuyor Adams-Aliu, the suspects were found on Wednesday, August 19, and evacuated to the naval base for preliminary investigation and profiling.
He said investigations revealed that the suspects boarded the vessel while it was berthed at the Flour Mills Jetty in Apapa, allegedly intending to travel illegally to Europe.
The suspects were identified as Thompson Vincent, 23; Emmanuel Philip, 24; Tobi Olalekan, 32; Omotayo Adebowale, 43; Abdullahi Idowu, 21; Tunde Mustapha, 19; Jamiu Ismaila, 25; Ibrahim Alabi, 30; and Christian Kadiri, 22.
Adams-Aliu said the handover was part of ongoing collaboration among security agencies to curb illegal migration and strengthen maritime security.
He urged parents, guardians and other authority figures to discourage young people from attempting to board seagoing vessels illegally, noting that the dangers associated with the practice extended beyond Nigeria to other West African coastal states.
He added that NNS Beecroft would continue to support the Chief of the Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Idi Abbas, in deploying a professional naval force to safeguard Nigeria’s maritime interests and support national security operations.
