Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke says his administration will revive the dying adult Literacy Centres across the State and facilitate skill acquisition for all, especially for women and young girls.
Senator Adeleke stated this while speaking at the International Conference of Nigerian National Council for Adult Education, NNCAE held at the University of Ilesa, Osun State.
Represented by the Commissioner for Education, Mr Dipo Eluwole, the Governor’ said adult education was now more relevant today than ever before in the history of the country.
He said due to new technological ideas and innovations to learn, there is a need for more skills to be acquired for sustainability and prosperity.
Senator Adeleke noted that due to the increase in teenage pregnancy, early marriage, child labour, irresponsible parenthood and societal violation of the Universal basic education ethics, adult education is essential. He appealed to NNCAE to expedite action with adequate collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Education to ensure that Nigerians were given second chances to achieve basic literacy and numeracy.
