 DigitalSENSE Business News learnt from the chairman UBEB, that the government of Adams Oshiomole is so passionate about provide about sound basic education and pleaded with the people to be patient, as government cannot provide all their needs at a time.

 He explained that the state government had commenced the training and re-training of teachers in order to improve the quality of education in the state, stressing that “if we have well-modelled schools without well tutored students, of course, we are not going anywhere.”
