‘Economic transformation hinges on skills development’

The Commissioner for Budget and Planning and Vice-Chairman of the Steering Committee for the Ogun State Economic Transformation Project (OGSTEP), Olaolu Olabimtan, has emphasised that the economic transformation of any state or nation depends significantly on education and skill development.

Olabimtan spoke during an inspection of the ongoing rehabilitation of the Government Technical College, Ajegunle, in Ewekoro Local Government Area.

He noted that the Ogun State Government’s vision to modernise its eight technical colleges is grounded in the understanding that education and skill acquisition are critical drivers of sustainable growth.

“One of the pillars of this project is skill development. The whole idea is that you cannot have economic transformation without prioritising education and skill acquisition, which are essential for the state growth,” Olabimtan said.

He also called on community leaders to collaborate with the government to ensure the sustainability and effective use of rehabilitated technical colleges.

The commissioner commended the Baale of Ajegunle, Chief Musibau Ogunpola, for his proactive engagement and encouraged other community leaders to adopt a similar approach.

Olabimtan commended the contractor for adhering to quality and promising to deliver some of the buildings well ahead of the deadline.

In her remarks, the OGSTEP Project Coordinator, Mrs Mosunmola Owo-Odusi, assured the community that the college would be equipped with world-class infrastructure upon completion.

Represented by the OGSTEP Project Manager for the Skills Development Sector, Fatai Osunsanya, she highlighted the government’s commitment to creating a conducive environment for learning and skill acquisition that aligns with global standards.

Similarly, Engr. Kayode Oseni, Project Engineer for OGSTEP, expressed confidence in the timely delivery of the project, stressing that all efforts are being made to ensure the facility is completed as scheduled.
