While declaring the training open, Prof. Arigbabu revealed that the project was fully awarded to local artisans in the state, adding that the first phase had commenced with the production of 10,000 tables and chairs.
He urged participants to maximize the resources provided by the present administration in the colleges to ensure quality service delivery and professionalism.
Prof. Arigbabu also emphasized that the government would supply more equipment once the ongoing construction of buildings in the colleges is completed.

In his remarks, the Acting Executive Secretary of OGSTVEB, Mr. Olubori Akinleye, said the training was organized by the Ogun State Economic Transformation Project (OGSTEP) in collaboration with the Ministry of Education. He explained that the programme was designed to update technical college principals and school managers on ongoing reforms in the sector and to improve their skills to ensure the sustainability of the administration’s innovations.
