Nine Months After, Alternative High School For Girls To Commence Academic Activities
Governor Ademola Adeleke has disclosed that academic activities will commence at the Alternative High School for Girls in Osogbo as schools across the state resume for the first term on September 22, 2025.
OSUN DEFENDER had reported the lack of activities at the school, which was constructed by Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, and officially handed over to the Osun State Government on December 13, 2024.
The Alternative High School for Girls is a facility for academic and vocational education for young mothers in the state.
The First Lady said that the completion of the project would ensure that all women and girls, regardless of their circumstances, have access to quality education.
She noted that through the facilities, girls and women were not only going to get a second chance at formal education but also be equipped with life skills to rebuild their confidence, independence, and potential to contribute meaningfully to society.
But speaking during the distribution of vehicles and instructional materials to schools in the state on Wednesday, Governor Adeleke assured that the school will be starting operation on Monday.
He said, “Let me also inform you that the Alternative School for Girls in Osogbo will commence alongside other schools on 22nd September 2025. The UBEC Model Smart School in Osogbo is equally ready for resumption, with plans underway to replicate it across the state.”
Adeleke, who was represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Mr Teslim Igbalaye, at the event held at the conference hall of the state Universal Basic Education Board, Abeere, said education remains a top priority of his administration.
The vehicles and materials included one Sienna bus, eight mini-buses, 31 motorcycles, textbooks, computer sets, solar equipment, and school diaries, among others.
The governor added that the materials would help in securing the future of Osun children through quality education.
According to Adeleke, “Today’s flag-off marks the distribution of new instructional materials across our schools. These include exercise books, notebooks, chalks, markers, textbooks in core subjects, and over 12,000 sets of furniture. With this, the burden of pupils carrying chairs from home is now history.
“Education remains a top priority of our administration. Since assuming office, we have consistently invested in raising the quality of learning in our schools. With your support, we have made significant progress.”
“Between 2022 and 2024, our government;
Paid counterpart funds to UBEC from 2019 to 2024, which previous administrations left unattended. We’ve refurbished over 400 classrooms in 139 schools. Supplied more than 12,500 sets of furniture for pupils, students, and teachers.
“Earlier this year, we also secured approval for the 2024 UBEC/SUBEB Action Plan, now under implementation. It covers the construction of 333 classrooms, boreholes in schools, toilets, perimeter fencing, ICT facilities, monitoring vehicles and motorbikes, as well as additional furniture for teachers and learners,” he added.
