Speaking on the development yesterday, Honourable Peller said via his social media post: “While I was in Ogbomoso yesterday with the campaign team of my party (Accord), my team was in Iseyin distributing laboratory equipment I facilitated to ten secondary schools across the four local governments that make up my constituency.

“To achieve a satisfactory level of scientific literacy in our society and prepare the next generation of scientists and engineers for the 21st century scientific knowledge, there is need for effective science education in our secondary schools. This informed our decision to equip these schools with science laboratory equipment.”

The distribution of the equipment was done with close supervision of the Ogun-Osun River Basin Development Authority, which is the agency in charge.
