Olohungbebe stressed the need for them to compliment the government’s efforts in providing qualitative education, adding that he was on the visit to encourage the teachers to give their best in the discharge of their duties.

“This is an oversight visit for me to have first-hand information about your level of compliance with the guidelines and directives of the ministry. I am here to see that the right thing is being done by both the staff and the students,” he noted.

He commended the management and staff of the schools he visited for maintaining clean and safe environments, urging them to sustain the practice.
