Why the renaming ceremony, he should have left the names as they were than trying to cause confusion. He should look for better things to do for Osun people than renaming institutions that have been named for decades

How does he expect such certificate to be given international recognition when it has already be noted globally that standard of education in Nigeria is poor.

What contributions did those that he renamed the institutions after make towards the advancement of education in Nigeria, particularly in their communities? The era of cronyism is over, Gov. Aregbesola. In advanced countries such as America, the best you can do for those who make substantial contributions to academic institutions or given scholarships to deserving students, is to name faculties or buildings after them, not change the name of an entire institution to please your allies.

This is total rubbish! Why renaming those institutions? What happened to the names they were having before? This is lack of knowledge of what he’s suppose to do in the state.

My brother, this is absolute madness.He will soon
rename the other schools like School of Nursing,
Technical Colleges, Secondary Schools and Primary
Schools in Osun State. Ogbeni has a first class in
Renaming Science. The only person who is governing
a state that is not among the recognized states in
Nigeria, the State of Osun. I am sure the madness
will end one day. Workers are hungry, you are
dancing all around. Whatever has a beginning must
have an ending. Prosterity is there to judge. Let us
wait for what he will name in his name. This is sheer
madness of highest order, my brother. I pray his
colleague in Pacesetter state will not follow this
trend.
