Education Can Be Used As A Tool Against Slavery – Gov. Adeleke

Governor Ademola Adeleke

Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has said that education is a key tool to empower people against slavery. He recently had his say while speaking at the inauguration of Minaret University, Ikirun and the investiture of the pioneer Vice-Chancellor of the institution, Prof. Abdullah Abdur-Rahman.

According to him, Osun State has been building upon the legacy of the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo, which guaranteed an active citizenry that is ready and capable of resisting tyranny, impunity and lawlessness.

He added that the state will keep advancing in scholarship and good governance under his watch.

His words, “With MINARET and other upcoming private institutions, with existing old colleges and universities, Osun will continue to advance in scholarship and good governance. Our sons and daughters will continue to make the state proud locally and internationally. Never shall Osun retrogress; the clock of advancement will continue to tick in our favour.

A well-read population is empowered with knowledge and is therefore stronger than those wielding brute force as a means of existence. The late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo designed the old Western Region as a zone to be propelled to the national frontline by educational access.

The mileage of the first republic was expanded by the late Bola Ige administration through its free education programme. That legacy was built upon in the new Osun state to guarantee an active citizenry that is ready and capable of resisting tyranny, impunity and lawlessness.”

WOW.
