Oyo State Government Launches Education Sector Plan
The Oyo State Government has officially launched its Education Sector Plan (ESP) for the years 2026 to 2030, concluding a two-year process that involved extensive planning, stakeholder engagement, and adaptation to changes in political and administrative leadership within relevant ministries. The development of the plan was driven by sustained advocacy and multiple stakeholder meetings.
Journalist Ridwan Adeola Yusuf played a significant role in this advocacy, producing four investigative reports between 2024 and 2025 that highlighted the negative impact of inadequate gender-responsive education on girls' access to learning in Oyo State. These reports addressed barriers to girls' education, budget inequalities, and the consequences of poor gender budgeting.
Ridwan's work was part of the Change Reporting Media Fellowship on Gender Responsive Education Sector Planning (GRESP), organized by ImpactHouse and System Strategy and Policy Lab (SSPL), aimed at equipping journalists to advocate for gender equality in education.
