Aregbesola said this in a statement issued by Mr Semiu Okanlawon, his media aide, on Sunday in Osogbo.
“The need to produce the total man who will be useful to the society remains the rationale behind my administration’s huge investment in education in the state.’’
The governor said whatever was invested in education was for the future.
He added that his administration had embarked on massive construction of classrooms, reforms of the schools system, provision of other modern learning tools for the good of the state.
According to him, if a man is given education, he has been given a weapon against poverty.
He said that was why his administration invested heavily in education.
“I must state that this is the major reason functional education remains our biggest investment. A man that is knowledgeable is a man that is wealthy.
“In a knowledge-based society and economy that we are advocating, functional education is the only way to be relevant and be in position to play a role,’’ the governor said.
Aregbesola assured of his administration resolve to provide quality education in the state. (NAN)
