Iwo Land's Future Depends on It: Establishing a School of Agriculture

Alhaji Nurudeen Emiloju, may God continue to be on your side, and may He continually use you in your endeavors. As you fight on, your true visions for Iwo land shall come to pass. As a good politician, I urge you to consider the following simple analysis regarding Osun State's higher institutions.

In the Oshogbo zone, we have the School of Nursing Oshogbo and Osun State University Oshogbo. The Ila/Ikirun zone is home to Osun State College of Education Ila, Osun State Polytechnic Iree, and Osun State University campus Okuku. In the Ilesa zone, there is Osun State University of Education Ilesa, Health Technology Ilesa, and College of Technology Esa Oke. The Ife zone hosts Osun State University campuses in Ipetumodu and Ifetedo. Ede zone has the Osun State University Ejigbo campus, while the Ikire zone has the Osun State University campus Ikire and Co-operative College Odeomu.

However, Iwo zone is notably without any state-owned higher institution. Alhaji Nurudeen Emiloju, I appeal to you to use your political influence, as you have always shown deep concern for the progress of Iwo land. It is worth noting that Osun State currently lacks a School of Agriculture. God can use you to establish a School of Agriculture in Iwo land, where our children can obtain OND and HND qualifications.

Examples of Schools of Agriculture in Nigeria include the School of Agriculture in Akure, the School of Agriculture Moor Plantation in Ibadan, the School of Agriculture in Igbo Ora, Oyo State, and the School of Agriculture in Jalingo, Plateau State, to name a few. There is no state-owned higher institution in Iwo land, and this needs to change.

Please act, Emiloju. God shall use you, and the forefathers of Iwo land are with you. I salute all members of the ESF group; our missions shall come to pass.
