Hon. Wole Oke Offsets Fees for 1,400 Students Across Osun’s Technical Colleges
In a bold move aimed at deepening access to technical and vocational education in Osun State, the Member representing Obokun/Oriade Federal Constituency, Hon. Wole Oke, has fully offset the first-term fees of 1,400 students across the state’s nine government technical colleges.
The intervention, officially confirmed in a statement released by the Public and Media Communication Unit of his constituency office, covers terminal fees, lesson fees, development charges, and other sundry levies for the 2025/2026 academic session. The gesture provides much-needed financial relief to parents while ensuring students remain focused on their academic and technical training.
According to Hon. Oke, his continuous investment in technical education reflects a long-standing belief that vocational skills are powerful tools for combating unemployment, poverty, and rising social vices among youths. His office described the initiative as part of a broader commitment to “empowering job creators, innovators, and self-reliant young Nigerians.”
Overwhelming Gratitude From Schools Across Osun
The impact of the intervention has triggered a wave of appreciation from principals, parents, and students across the nine colleges, many of whom described the gesture as timely and transformative.
At Gbongan Technical College, Principal Mr. Olusegun Okediran offered prayers on behalf of the school community, saying:
“The Lord shall continue to bless you and make ways where there seems to be no way. The students and parents are very grateful, Sir.”
From Technical College, Osu, Principal Mrs. Oladimeji O. Musilimat extended warm appreciation for Hon. Oke’s consistent support toward youth development.
At Ara Technical College, Principal Mrs. Atunbi Oluwakemi added:
“Thank you so much, Sir. The Lord will continually bless you abundantly in Jesus’ name.”
In Iwo, Principal Mrs. Akande praised the lawmaker for sustaining educational upliftment in the state, saying:
“We are grateful for your support and for uplifting technical education in the state. May all your heart desires be granted in Jesus’ name.”
The appreciation echoed at Ile-Ife, where Principal Mr. Adetola Samson noted:
“We sincerely appreciate your love, kindness, and generosity to our youths. Almighty God will continue to bless you and your family more and more. You are indeed a blessing to this generation.”
At Osogbo Technical College, Principal Mr. T. G. Onifade emphasized the significance of the gesture:
“Your support means the world to our students. Thank you for believing in the power of education and supporting technical education. May God bless you abundantly.”
These expressions represent just a fraction of the numerous messages flooding in from school authorities and beneficiaries acknowledging what many describe as a life-changing intervention.
As the state continues to push for stronger vocational education, Hon. Oke’s recurring interventions—viewed by analysts as a blend of public service and human capital investment—appear to be setting a benchmark in grassroots educational support.
