Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke
The Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has declared Monday a work-free day for teachers in public and private schools in the state to commemorate the 2024 World Teachers’ Day.
A statement signed by the Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Mr Kolapo Alimi, obtained in Osogbo, the state capital, on Sunday, said the gesture was to recognise the invaluable contributions of teachers to the growth of the education sector.
Quoting Adeleke’s message to the teachers on the occasion, the statement partly read, “I, Senator Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke, the Executive Governor of Osun state heartily congratulate all teachers throughout the world and in particular in my dear state, Osun on the annual occasion of World Teachers Day being celebrated annually on every 5th of October.
“While it gladdens my heart and that of my administration to declare tomorrow as public holiday throughout Osun State, I admonish all teachers to use the one-day public holiday as a means to cast a look at the past, present and future development of the state in the education sector.
“I am using this opportunity for the umpteenth time to assure you that my administration will continue to do everything morally and officially possible to put smiles on your faces in order to make you happy and fulfilled as purveyors of knowledge in this dear state of ours, Osun.”
