Oyo State Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, has expressed its readiness to collaborate with Oyo State Mobilization Agency for Socio Economic Development (OYMASED) to improve culture and values in Public schools in the state.

The Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Prof. Salihu Adelabu stated this on Thursday while playing host to the Management Team of the Agency led by the Director General, Dr. Morohunkola Thomas in his Office, Agodi , Secretariat, Ibadan.

The commissioner explained that the Ministry will continue to work with agencies and MDAs that will assist in improving the education sector and promoting positive values in schools.
He admonished the Agency to tailor its sensitization to the mindset of the students so that they can be mindful of their future.
He therefore congratulated Dr.Morohunkola Thomas, on his new appointment, describing the appointment as the right peg in right hole.

He said: “The mindset of our students should be tailored towards their dream and what they want to become in life.
‘You mentioned that your agency is going to move our students from poverty to prosperity. We should be able to assist in the area of values and culture. You need to embark on comparative studies with neighbouring African countries that are doing well.

Earlier, the Director General of OYMASED, Dr. Morohunkola Thomas, explained that the new agency is saddled with the responsibility of educating people at the grassroots on the socio-economic activities of the Governor Seyi Makinde led administration in the state.

He added that mobilization and education of residents of the state will help in achieving one of the agendas of the state government, which is moving people from poverty to prosperity.

According to Dr. Thomas, the Governor set up this agency to work on mobilizing our people and giving them a new orientation on how to live a life that would take them from poverty to prosperity. And to live a life that would take us from poverty to prosperity, education is key.

“We identify the fact that the core values of our society have really gone down. The values of integrity, discipline, handwork, respect for elders, those values have gone down seriously.

“We should start with our children, especially those in secondary schools. We are proposing that we have engagement with school principals, guidance counsellors who are relating with most of the students.
