Mr. Onasanya said the Ogun State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) has been directed to implement the policy with immediate effect.
He noted that the development aligns with the ISEYA pillar of the administration, reaffirming Ogun State’s position as the education hub of the country.
The Head of Service further stated that the Prince Dapo Abiodun-led administration remains committed to implementing progressive policies to advance educational development, while urging teachers to sustain dedication to efficient and quality service delivery.
