He cited extensive tours of schools across the state to assess their conditions and make recommendations to the government.

Ologede revealed plans to introduce a bill aimed at improving the educational sector’s standards and emphasized the importance of collaboration between the state government, the House of Assembly, and the Ministry of Education to achieve this goal.

“I have a bill concerning the education sector of Ondo State so that we can have quality and standards,” Ologede stated.
