Ogun To Build 900-Seater Smart Classroom Complex At Remo Secondary School- Abiodun
The governor of Ogun State, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has said the state government would construct a 900-seater Artificial Intelligence-powered digital classroom complex valued at ₦1 billion at Remo Secondary School (RSS), Sagamu, as part of efforts to deepen technology-driven education in the state.
Abiodun disclosed this during the school’s 80th anniversary celebration held on the school premises, describing the ultra-modern facility as a major investment aimed at equipping students for the demands of the 21st-century knowledge economy.
According to the governor, the digital classroom is part of broader smart-learning initiatives within the school, which already include a resource centre and a fully equipped robotics laboratory designed to promote innovation, creativity, and advanced digital skills.
“As a first step in providing continuous support, I am pledging the sum of ₦100 million to this institution. To underscore my commitment, I will release 50 per cent of the pledge — ₦50 million — next week. This is not all; I will ensure that before I leave office, we begin and complete at least one of the projects mentioned,” Abiodun said.
The governor further revealed that the state government has remodelled the school’s science laboratories, bringing them up to modern standards and equipping them with contemporary instructional tools to create safe and inspiring learning environments.
Describing Remo Secondary School as a heritage institution, Abiodun said the anniversary celebration represented more than the marking of years but the preservation of a living legacy.
He commended the school’s old students for preserving its history and supporting its development, noting that their contributions reflect collective responsibility toward sustaining excellence.
“These are not merely assets; they are statements of belief in the future, symbols of our shared sacrifice, and proof of what is possible when vision aligns with commitment. I have discovered that this school is far more than a school; it is a heritage institution, collectively owned, nurtured, and sustained by a shared sense of responsibility,” the governor added.
Abiodun, who noted that RSS has been designated as one of the state’s flagship schools, urged students to embrace learning with passion, uphold integrity, and strive to live up to the legacy of excellence established by previous generations.
