Oyo Governor Seyi Makinde Launches Education Support Initiative

On October 5, 2026, Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, represented by his deputy Bayo Lawal, initiated the distribution of motorcycles and 72,000 notebooks under the ‘Better Education Service Delivery for All AF TESS Project’ across the 33 Local Government Areas of Oyo State. The event took place at the House of Chiefs, Secretariat, Ibadan.

Governor Makinde stated that this initiative demonstrates the administration's commitment to improving education accessibility and effectiveness. The motorcycles are intended for School Support Officers and School Mobilisation Officers, who are crucial in connecting schools with families and communities, identifying out-of-school children, and promoting enrolment.

The notebooks aim to provide essential learning materials to students, enhancing their ability to participate in lessons. Makinde urged beneficiaries to use the motorcycles responsibly and called on community stakeholders to collaborate with education officers to ensure the initiative benefits children in need.
