Layinka said further that the Governor never made of the statements credited to him by the legal luminary.

He said further that various performance metrics and data support the claim that the quality of education in Oyo State has improved in the last six years, and it would be malicious for anyone to suggest otherwise, and if they took their time to look through said metrics, it would be obvious from the jump.

They however, assured that the governor will continue to do everything in his power to improve the quality of education in the state, “as he is of the opinion that quality education is the bedrock of whatever improvements anyone can plan or execute in any.”
