"I also feel we must look inward too for Afrocentric solutions to this pandemic. We do not need to copy and paste what the West is doing."
"The problem we have in Nigeria is that, most of us in the education sector got there because we couldn’t make our first choice ambition in other fields (then we find our ways into the classroom), whereas in the developed parts of the world, people that are in education would absolutely die for it."
"Responsibility of an educator is to provide equitable and sustainable education and the use of strike as a tool to ensure demands are met is unprofessional."
"We have a digital literacy centre where pupils are given further education. Every pupil has different talents and abilities. While some are academically gifted, others are excellent in other areas. Oyo State is now rewarding teachers in every school where the WAEC result is above average."
"Prime Oyo Role Model is a part of OYOMESI character education strand designed to honour the people who have excelled in their chosen profession and contributed to the development of education and society at large."
"My experience of COVID-19 is weird as I believe I had it. Though I did not get tested as I was told at the University College Hospital (UCH) that they had no capacity for testing. I was asked to go to Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) in Lagos."
