Gov Godwin Obaseki of Edo on Wednesday said he would want to be remembered for transforming public education and a better workforce needed for national development in the state.
Obaseki made this known during the Edo State Education Week 2023 with the theme, “Education for Alaghodaro: Investing in quality education and access for our children and youth,” in Benin.
He noted that his vision for the state in the next decade was to see that the state did not rely on oil resources alone from the Federal Government to run the economy.
“The future we seek is one in which millions of well educated citizens can participate in our economy with the advantage of the knowledge and education which they have acquired.
“Our grand plan is to make Edo state the best place to live and work by the year 2050, and we have realised that there is no better way to achieve this dream than through education.
“It is expedient to reiterate that the most cherished legacy I want to be remembered for as the Governor of Edo State is a legacy that we were able to transform public education.
