The Otu Osisioma Age Group has canvassed for an improved budgetary allocation for the education sector.
This was said at the yearly programme/launch of Otu Osisioma Education Scholarship Trust Fund for Oguta, Imo State indigenes.
The former Deputy Governor of the state and member, Board of Trustees of the trust fund, Alphonsus Gerald Irona, said that there was the need for more commitment on the part of stakeholders in the education sector.
He said previously, Oguta sons and daughters excelled in walks of life, “but today, there is a decline in the education sector generally.”
“Oguta Community has been blessed with notable sons and daughters as a result of their early venture into education, but today, the secondary schools set up by most of our renowned heroes have become shadows of themselves.
“Hence, what Otu Osisioma Age Grade is doing today must be supported and applauded by all,” Iron said.
