The governor said the decision to enroll his son in a public school, contrary to practice by his peers who send their children to expensive private schools in Nigeria and abroad was in fulfillment of a promise he made in 2017.
He also said the decision demonstrated strong commitment of his government to fix public education and raise the standard of public schools so that private education will become only a luxury.
